[00:17.83]Somewhere out there on that horizon
[00:23.72]Out beyond the neon lights
[00:28.98]I know there must be somethin' better
[00:35.50]But there's nowhere else in sight
[00:41.54]It's survival in the city
[00:47.62]When you live from day to day
[00:53.56]City streets don't have much pity
[00:59.49]When you're down, that's where you'll stay
[01:07.12]In the city, oh, oh.
[01:19.08]In the city
[01:47.68]I was born here in the city
[01:53.65]With my back against the wall
[01:59.05]Nothing grows, and life ain't very pretty
[02:05.05]No one's there to catch you when you fall
[02:11.72]Somewhere out on that horizon
[02:17.70]Far away from the neon sky
[02:23.31]I know there must be somethin' better
[02:29.70]And I can't stay another night
[02:37.32]In the city, oh, oh.
[02:49.29]In the city
[03:01.33]In the city
[03:13.27]In the city

Somewhere out there on that horizon
Out beyond the neon lights
I know there must be somethin' better
But there's nowhere else in sight
It's survival in the city
When you live from day to day
City streets don't have much pity
When you're down, that's where you'll stay
In the city, oh, oh.
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
Somewhere out on that horizon
Far away from the neon sky
I know there must be somethin' better
And I can't stay another night
In the city, oh, oh.
In the city
In the city
In the city
