Lyrics
Here on the street
Feeling the cool of the dawn
Shuffling feet
Faces are ragged and worn
They've been working all night
Waiting for the curtain to rise
While you're under the sheets
You with the stars in your eyes
Letterbox noise
Snapping the day into life
Newspaper boys
Cutting the mist like a knife
We're beginning to rise
The curtain of the drama begins
It's the start of the race
All of us wanting to win
People rushing, shouting, pushing
Got no time for conversation
In the city population
The struggle for communication
People trying, pressurizing
Huff and hustle, flex your muscle
It's all part of living
Do you wanna get away?
Restaurant smells
Mix in the heat of the day
Telephone bells
Kiss her when girl's on her way
Someone thinking of you
Birthday boy is in for a treat
And the message is clear
Once a year, life can be sweet
Caught in a flash
Cover girl freezes her smile
Media trash
Blinding the crowd with such style
It's a dazzling affair
A fantasy to star in your dreams
Do you want to believe?
Everyone knows what they've seen
Twilight time in the city
And the shutters are down
That's when the singles are lost in their doubles
The happy hour comes 'round
To help you unwind in the shadows
Take the tension away
It's been a hell of a day in the city
Now it's your time to play
Living under pressure
Do you wanna buy a dream?
I said "Phil, can you get it?"
He said "Alright"
That's right, that's right, that's right
I say, baby, don't you trust me?
He said, the city's a jungle where the strongest survive
Neonic heat flooding the darkness with light
The capital beats beating the pulse of the night
It's the music of life
Listen to the sound of the crowd
Where the rhythm's so strong
And the music is playing so loud
Where the rhythm's so strong
And the music is playing so
