"City Tonight" lyrics

"City Tonight"

It's getting late and something's
Waiting in the city of lights
This place is crazy and it
Makes me wanna fuck up my mind

I like the lights
The trippy lights
And all the pornographic stores
I light this thing
As they complain
About the junkies and the whores

When I was young
I dreamed I'd come here
And I guess I did
Survive the scum
And I'd become someone
But never did

These village slums
I let become my life
I guess I did
I'm just a bum who cares
No that's just the way I live

This is the life
This is the life
You want the life
You want the life
NO

It's getting late
And guess who's
Playing in the city tonight
This place's amazing
And it makes me wanna fucking get high

I love the way the building sway
And all the garbage on the street
The sounds of trains and sirens
Make lovely music while I sleep

I'm going farther than I ever
Thought that far could be
By twenty one I had a gun
And ditched authority

I've been inside and gotten high on petty felonies
At twenty four and? still apart of me

This is the life
This is the life
You want the life
You want the life
NO

This is the life
You want the life
This fucking life
You want my life
NO
