Life In The City

Whooooa-whooooa

 And if the city's skyscrapers rise over this island
 Would you be glad to see Manhattan for once?
 I knew the dream, it died
 JMZ line, Myrtle and Broadway
 But I'd be glad to see Manhattan for once
 Whoa-whoa, living life in the city
 Whoa-whoa, it will never be pretty
 Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
 Whoa-whoa, we can plan if we make it
 Whoa-whoa, we won't let 'em
 They won't take it from me
 No-oh-oh, whoa

 Whooooa-whooooa
 And if you leave, don't leave me all alone
 'Cause I'll be scared, I'll be naked, I'll be cold
 And I miss my dad, Cleopatra sitting on the phone
 So take me back off these streets
 And we'll never be apart
 Together from the start
 Never, never, falling back alone
 Oh-whoa, living life in the city
 Oh-whoa, it will never be pretty
 Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
 Oh-whoa, we can plan if we make it
 Oh-whoa, we won't let 'em
 They won't take it from me
 No-oh-oh, whoa
 And if the sun don't shine on me today
 And if the subways flood and bridges break
 Will you just lay down and dig your grave
 Or will you rail against the dying day
