"Trapped In The City" lyrics

Like a tiger in the jungle
When the evening shadows fall
I'm like a Mississippi gambler
With his back against the wall
I'm like a nervous old tom cat
I just don't know who I can trust
I'm wound up like a clock spring
And I'm just about to bust

Sometimes when the cold wind blows
And the rain comes pouring down
I wish I could buy me a pair of wings
I'd fly on out of this concrete hell
And forget about everything

But I'm trapped in the city
It's like I'm 40 feet below
Yes I'm trapped in the city
I ain't got no place to go

Over in the evening
When the smoggy sun goes down
When the muggers and sluggers
And the street gangs come around
Where the ladies of the evening
And the midnight movers meet
While the wheelers and the dealers fight
Their war out in the street

Sometimes when the cold wind blows
And the rain comes pouring down
I wish I could buy me a pair of wings
I'd fly on out of this concrete hell
And forget about everything

But I'm trapped in the city
Like I'm 40 feet below
Yes I'm trapped in the city
I ain't got no place to go

Sometimes when the cold wind blows
And the rain comes pouring down
I wish I could buy me a pair of wings
I'd fly on out of this concrete hell
And forget about everything

But I'm trapped in the city
It's like I'm 40 feet below
Yes I'm trapped in the city
I ain't got no place to go

Well I'm trapped in the city
Like I'm 40 feet below
Yes I'm trapped in the city
I ain't got no place to go
I got no place to go
