I got a hunger running deep I got a pain that you can't see Here in the city I feel free to chase what's calling me Now in a world that plays for keeps There is a party in the streets I'm gonna do what I have to do to make a life for me But it takes you some time Till get you a mind of your own City night (city nights) I'll be what I wanna be Nights are gonna rescue me 'Cause you know that I'm living deep in the city nights (City night, city nights) Never gonna be alone City nights be my home City nights, City nights City nights, City nights I work all day it's wasting time It pays the bills it kills my mind But I do what I have to do to keep my dream alive (alive) And when the moonlight hits the street I feel the thunder of the beat Suddenly I know what I've been waiting for But it takes you some time Till get you a mind of your own City night (city nights) I'll be what I wanna be Nights are gonna rescue me 'Cause you know that I'm living deep in the city nights (City night, city nights) Never gonna be alone City nights be my home City nights, City nights City nights, City nights I can't wait any longer I know where I belong There's my star moving faster But I'll take my chances I got to be strong City night (city nights) I'll be what I wanna be Nights are gonna rescue me 'Cause you know that I'm living deep in the city nights (City night, city nights) Never gonna be alone City nights be my home
