Coffer cafe's dizzy with city lights, concrete sidewalks busy with friendly fights
But that's alright baby, it's alright come go with me and you will see city life, city life
Loud paper boys yelling yesterday's news, a pedlar man selling what you can't use
That's alright baby, it's alright come go with me, you will see city life, city life
I need you when the sun goes down, you pick me up when you're around
Come on, come on now, we can have a good time, this town ain't much unless you're here with me
It's like a woman, crazy just like a puppy, lazy
Just like a pretty jealous wife, I can't get free from city life
Secluded bars humming behind the scenes, hot wild guitars strumming, promising dreams
That's alright baby, it's alright come go with me and you will see city life, city life
I don't want to be alone, stay with me now, don't go home
It's a date, we'll stay out late and party, city lifes okay when you're with me
It's like a lion sleeping just like a willow weeping,
A melting pot for fun and strife can't get away from city life
Listen up, child, there's one thing I've got to make clear
Yeah, I do
You don't see it coming
Hear it coming
Acting like you know nothing
About that strange rumor going on around here
Take me back to the land of the living
Take me down where the sun do shine
Take me back, things be different
You get it, got it, ooooh, you better get it now
Chorus:
Stay alive, let your soul rise up from the bottom
Stay alive, don't let it take you down for the very last time
Stay alive, it don't do you no good looking up from the bottom
Stay alive, don't let it take you down for the very last time
You talk about lies and pain
It don't do you no good with your face in the cocaine
Love, hate, watch that mother
She'll bring you down like no other I've seen
If you know what I mean
Take me back, got to face that demon
Take me down, don't play it's fool
Take me back, things be different
You get it, got it, ooooh, you better get it now
Chorus
No, I ain't seen nothin'
No, I ain't seen nothin'
I never liked this apple much
It always seemed too big to touch
I can't remember how I found
My way before she came around
I tell everyone
I smile just because
I've got a city love
I found it in Lydia
And I can't remember life before her name
She keeps a toothbrush at my place
As if I had the extra space
She steals my clothes to wear to work
I know - her hairs are on my shirts
I tell everyone
I smile just because
I've got a city love
I found it in Lydia
And I can't remember life before
The day
She called up and came to me
Covered in rain
And dinnertime shadowing
And as her clothes spun, we spooned
And I knew I was through
When I said "I love you"
Friday evening, we've been drinking
2 AM, I swear I might propose
but we close the tab
split a cab
and call each other up when we get home
falling asleep to the sound
of sirens
I've got a city love
I found it in Lydia
From the battery
To the gallery
It's the kind of thing you only see
In scented, glossy magazines
Cuando tengas nubes en el alma
Y te encuentres en el ojo de un ciclón
Y tus noches solas sean las más oscuras
Yo soy la causa y la cura
No ha nacido nadie en este mundo que te quiera
Con la fuerza de un tigre sin control;
Y no hay nadie que como una fiera
Te defienda... te defienda como yo...
Soy tu lluvia y cada lágrima tuya
La tormenta que está hundiendo tu mente
Y en tu desierto sin agua te doy de beber
Soy tu lluvia
Te haces el que no me extraña
Tu indiferencia no me engaña
Yo soy las sangre de tus venas
Mi cuerpo es la adicción que te condena
Conmigo vives en el cielo y el infierno
De donde no te puedes escapar
Te doy mi amor tan tierno como un ángel
Pero el diablo te va a castigar
Te hago reír, te hago llorar
Te vas a morir
Para resucitar...
Well I'm down and I'm out and I've had it to here with
the city life
Gonna grab me a plane that'll take me back home to my
folks --
Maybe real soon
Just as soon as I get a few dollars ahead well then
you'll see
Gonna show up in person instead of those letters I never
write --
How does that sound Ma?
You tell Dad I got a deal that's gonna make me a million
-- tomorrow
Yeh and it's a cinch to come through if I just hang
around for a little while --
Just temporarily...
The first time
When you are stellified
Could be the last chance
I have to sanctify
So save the last dance
For me my love because I
I see you as an angel freshly fallen from the sky
Heard your first words
Before I saw your eyes
Fell from your sweet lips
Well you are stellified
So save the last dance
For me my love because I
I see you as an angel freshly fallen from the sky
I made a shrine
I made it for you
I see you are an angel all the things that you do
And now I found tomorrow with you I'm miles high
Shining like a diamond in the darkness of the sky
I stellify
I'm miles high
I stellify
And so we're miles above
Our ribbon in the sky
And it's the real love
I see so in your eyes
So save the last dance
For me my love because I
I see you as an angel freshly fallen from the sky
I made a shrine
That stands here for you
I see you are an angel all the things that you do
No one knows tomorrow the future stands to find
This rockets starts ablazing so for you I stellify
I stellify
I'm miles high
I stellify
The first time
When you are stellified
Could be the last chance
I have to sanctify
So save the last dance
For me my love because
I see you as an angel freshly fallen from the sky
I made a shrine
With candles for you
I see you are an angel all the things that you do
Now I found tomorrow with you I stellify
Throw my arms above cause now I fly and touch the sky
I stellify
I'm miles high
1. The sun comes up
The sun goes down
But everything stays the same
It's the same old movie
Or the same old song
Only the players change
It's either 9 to 5
Or work all night
Everybody's got to pay their dues
One half are wrong
One half are right
Sometimes you win
Sometimes you lose
Saying me oh my
We all got to try
To stay alive
And we'll get by
If we all try
To stay alive
There's problems here
There's problems there
We got confusion everywhere
We're all working for a meal
Or to get a better deal
You only want what's fair
I'm stuck on stage
You're stuck at home
Everybody wants to trade places
So I'll be you and you be me
Nothing changes except the faces
Chorus
Stay alive, stay alive, stay alive
Stay alive, stay alive, stay alive
Repeat 1
Chorus
Stay alive, stay alive, stay alive
We got to stay alive, stay alive, stay alive
Me oh my, we all got to try
We got to try to stay alive
We got to get by, we all got to try
We all got to try, we got to stay alive
We got to survive, saying me oh my
We all got to try, to stay, stay alive
We all got to try, to get by and stay alive
Stay alive x9
We got to survive, we all got to try
To stay alive, alive, alive
We got to got try to survive
We all got to try to get by, to get by and get by
Come to the city, you try to find a job
Come to the city where there's no fucking jobs
City life - fucking boring
City life - No hope & glory
City life Oi!
City life is boring
City life's a waste of time
City life there is no hope
City life wont give you a break
City life, you better go home
City life got you into drugs
City life, there is no hope
City life wont give you a break
City life, You better go home
City life is boring
City life's a waste of time
What's your story send it over to me
I'll take a look and see what there is to see
At least jot a few things down
Anything to let me know I'm in your head
And not on the ground
With the cigarette butts
From the mouths of all those little sluts who want me
I'm lying here withthe negative thoughts running my brain
Over again look where I've been, feel me try, feel the sky
Feel that your able
To do what it is you need to when
This city life is dragging
This city life is dragging us down
Don't push me
Don't push me
Don't push me
Anyway, well I can barely face the day
Is it already a quarter to ten?
How can I drag my body from this bed again
When I feel so heavy from the weight of nothing
It's not about you as I said
Now it's a quarter to two, another night run through
Without connecting
To anything
This city life is dragging us down
I'm already so far away from where I need to be
I'm already so far away
We move a mile a minute
Just to keep ourselves in it
Now I think we've come to far not to win it
What is it?
If I wasn't here all of this shit would just go on anyway
If you weren't here
Everything would just go on anyway
That's what you learn
Why do you stay
Cry out, I hear them all
Try out, no time to hear the call
Turn around, turn around, right from the start
Turn around, turn around, straight to my heart
Try to make it, try to make it, try to make it,
Yeah, yeah
(repeat)
Stay alive, go on believing, it's gonna be all right
Stay alive, go on dreaming, I'll be at your side
Look out, we're on the run
No doubt, so busy having fun
Turn around, turn around, don't say enough
Turn around, turn around, you want my love
Try to make it, try to make it, try to make it
Yeah, Yeah
(repeat)
Stay alive, go on believing, it's gonna be alright
Stay alive, go on dreaming, I'll be at your side
(repeat)
Find myself turning the wheel, closer, stronger I feel
How would you know if you're letting it slip away?
Stay alive, go on believing, it's gonna be all right
Stay alive, go on dreaming, I'll be at your side
So I have to leave you now
Thank you for your sweet love
For you made me feel wanted for a while
I don't know if I'm for you
I don't know I don't know I you for me
I don't know
Maybe it's just city love
Ever since you came into my life
I'm afraid to see what became of me
So I sit in my room all night
Never turning on the light in my heart
I don't know if I'm for you
I don't know I don't know I you for me
I don't know Maybe it's just city love
"City Life"
There's a young man with
Dirt on his hands
There's a room of sweat
Full of one night stands
A life of regret in a rock and roll band
A whole lot of debt
And a pocket full of sand
There's a sick mother
Can't find her lost son
And there's a father
Didn't know he had one
Run down caddy
In the neighbor's backyard
Where the kid got shot
And it all fell apart
Just another day in the city life
Just another day where we live or die
We're all prayin' through the smoke filled sky
Just another day in the city life, city life
There's a law man and
He's loosin' his touch
Trapped a loose cannon
Says he won't lose much
A prospect picked and
He's earnin' his patch
Dealt a dirty deed and
It's paid for in cash
The pressure's so thick
You forget how to breathe
You gotta get drunk just
To blow off some steam
So many lights but
We're kept in the dark
Yeah they can take it all
But we still got heart
Just another day in the city life
Just another day where we live or die
We're all prayin' through the smoke filled sky
Just another day in the city life
There's no need to be nervous
We were born to fight
Sons and daughters we can
Take it outside
Follow the lead
Lead me to water
Do what it takes
Then take it from me
When there ain't nothin' left
You can read me my rights
Carry the load in the city life
Just another day in the city life
Just another day where we live or die
We're all prayin' through the smoke filled sky
Just another day in the city life
Just another day in the city life
Just another day where we live or die
We're all waitin' for some kind of sign
We stay alive
Save what you like
Your kids are allright
Take me to a higher level
We stay alive
Even if we die
This is a true lie
Take it to a higher level
Now you know what to truck
You know about tomorrow
Tryin' to fix a cock
'Cause time is at a bar
But it seems to stock
We gotta write a new show
Better you do not block
We need your action go on flow
Need your spleen for this scene
Act it slick punch the brick this is stick
Dream theme hit the screen
This your wind's gonna blow
This your coal's gonna glow
This your soul's gonna know
We're family bro
Go on study what you mean
Daydream
Time moves supremely
Lean back play tambourine
It's our God it's our devil
Let's handle it on our level
Stay alive
Don't try to sell me junk
Don't try to sell me dead man
You better give me punk
Seems you don't have no plan
Tree without a trunk
Come on try to understand
Live is more than funk
It's easy to be my friend
Don't kill my fun
Chill a little in the middle
I am not that much a riddle
Don't you make me crunk
'cause my son likes to drum
And my eyes like the sun
And your tongue likes my rum
As my mom needs you calm
Who wants to be on the run - none
Who wants to move on
Go on grow on show some
And come along
It's our God i'ts our devil
Let's handle it on our level

Standing up here on top of tall buildings
I will crave and wave so long, yeah
I want you
California --- California --- California eyes
California --- California --- California
California --- California --- California eyes
When you're standing at the edge of a cliff,
and you got somebody that you love standing
behind you telling you to jump,
and you finally do it,
that person is just as much in the wrong
as you are.
But I survived.
It's the calm before the storm.
I know where you are,
everytime I close my eyes.
I'm leaving you for now,
but I know where you are.
I'm starting a brand new life.
I don't know why,
but I swallowed it still.
This whole bottle of pills.
Oh what a Hollywood thrill.
And yeah it got me so ill,
just when I thought it would kill.
I made it out alive and climbed this impossible hill.
I was, tied up to this hospital bed,
when I just wanted to be dead.
I don't care about what you said,
with hickies all on your neck.
Who the hell taught you about respect?
Can't you tell i'm running out of breath.
With a million dead on my desk.
You can burn in hell with the rest.
But I don't wish that upon you.
I never wanted to harm you.
I wanna hate you but you know that it's hard to.
Like a fool I fell in love,
from the moment I saw you.
But you always kill me you bitch.
I fucking hope that it haunts you.
Calling superman a bitch,
is my only kryptonite.
Yeah i'll tell you man some bitche's throat,
is gettin' slit tonight.
I'm too fucking sick to die.
Get it right.
This is fly.
This is why,
I will fight to stay alive.
It's the calm before the storm.
I know where you are,
everytime I close my eyes.
I'm leaving you for now,
but I know where you are.
I'm starting a brand new life.
I just drink my problems away.
When I wake up they all remain.
Then it hits me hard in the face.
It's gettin' harder every day.
So I walk along with barely any motivation.
There's something wrong with this
god-forsaken road that i'm takin'.
Sometimes, I just wanna buy me a hand pistol.
Runnin' out, shooting up randoms
like a damn schizo.
But instead, i'm sitting here with a pad and a pencil.
I'm ripping out my own hair,
grabbing it up by the fistful.
Yeah, you fucking pussies think that you can scare me now.
Scare me how?
Try to kill me?
I can't even kill myself.
Yeah you better believe me because,
I already tried.
Already died.
Came back to life a motherfucking Jesus Christ.
Got a heart of steel and i'm hard to kill.
Ain't gonna stop till I got a deal.
When I get that i'ma want a mill.
I won't disappear like Copperfield.
So, you see me climbing going straight to the top.
I'm lightin' up the sky and I ain't gonna stop.
It's the calm before the storm.
I know where you are,
everytime I close my eyes.
I'm leaving you for now,
but I know where you are.
I'm starting a brand new life.
So I know what I want.
I want it all.
We've made our mistakes.
We needed to change.
We needed to break,
and even though,
it takes a part of me.
It takes a part of me.
But I won't,
ever,
do this again to,
anyone I love.
Anyone I love.
I won't,
ever,
do this again to,
anyone I love.
Anyone I love.
I'm sorry for what i've done.
But I want it all.
