Somewhere out
on that horizon
Out beyond
the neon lights
I know there must be
something better
But there's nowhere
else in sight
It's survival
in the city children
When you live
from day to day
City streets don't have
much pity though
When you're down
that's how you'll stay
In the city
In the city
I was born here
in the city
With my back
against the wall
Nothing grows and
life ain't very pretty
No-one's there
to catch you
when you fall
Ooh oh oh oh
Somewhere out
on that horizon
Far away from
the neon sky
I know there
must be something
must be
something better
I can't stay
another night
In the city
Another night
In the city
Another night
In the city
In the city
