It's night-time in the city
She walks this bridge alone
The rain pours through and soaks her skin

And the last train has already gone

The bus is overcrowded

With the casualties of the night
So she walks down by the river how it glistens
She says where will I sleep tonight

I'm gonna lay my bed beneath those city lights

Whoah, she must've wanted better

She's still creating her life
Although she's living in the gutter
Things can change in the twinkling of an eye

But she, she's still alone tonight

The sirens keep on screaming

She won't get a wink of sleep
The trickle of a waterfall that slowly pours
Upon her frozen cheeks


The headlights make her anxious
She's scared of being found

She wishes she had a home to call her own
So she could be alone, and slowly die in it
I'm gonna lay my bed beneath those city lights


Whoah, she must've wanted better
She's still creating her life

Although, though she's living in the gutter
Things can change in the twinkling of an eye
But she, she's still alone tonight


She doesn't want a life of luxury, she doesn't want the fancy cars
A roof is all she's after, she's just got to make a start.


Whoah, she must've wanted better
She's still creating this life

Although, though she's living in the gutter
These things can change in the blink of an eye


Whoah, she must've wanted better
She's still creating this life
Although, she's living in the gutter

Things can change in the twinkling of an eye
She's still alone tonight
She's still alone tonight

She's still alone tonight
