So baby there you stand
The bottle in your hand
Shouting to the night

While the city sleeps

Caught in the light of a car

While a subway station sparks
I see your face again
Guess it’s time to leave


And I watched you fall from a great height
You watched me fail night after night


Still the sound
Still the sound of the city tonight

Who keeps my dreams and my demons alive
Baby I, I’m still alive


I hear the city breathe
I dream the city’s dreams
And she’s in still my arms

For another year

So bring the broken hearts

Call in the king of cards
I’ll make them disappear
With a sleight of hand


And I watched you fall from a great height
And you watched me fail night after night


Still the sound
Still the sound of the city tonight

Keeps my dreams and my demons alive
Baby I, I’m still alive


Still you don't come
You won't come
Your fever has broken

And daylight is blinding your eyes
And still you don't come
You won't come

The city she's not done
She's calling, she's calling your name
Your name


The sound of the city
The sound of the city tonight
