Inside the canyon of glass and towering steel
The shadows and the footsteps that never stop to feel
Lights have changed from red to green and yes, I changed my mind
Pick up the phone, tell someone, "Just get off my line"
Up on the corner, newsboy's daily blues
Love and life and accidents and passing strangers' views
Valet holds no heroes, "The dealer holds" he said
Sun goin' down, lights come up, the wheel turns in your head
Make connections, you win elections
That ain't gonna be enough
'Cause the city is out of control
Yeah, the city is out of control
It's the city, can't you hear it
Crying? Out of control
♪
Running out o' time, you know it
Put it on the line, it's loaded
Fear erodes, hate explodes
Can't hold back now, take your passion to the street
