Night in the City Songtext

von Electric Light Orchestra

NIGHT IN THE CITY

Standin' at the airport
Lookin' down the strip
She was dryin' her eyes,
She was bitin' her lip
747 just left from gate eleven,
And there's no turning round
'Cos it's just leavin' the ground
And gettin' higher

Standin' at the dock-side

Lookin' out to the sea,
When I saw here there
But she did not see me
There she stood with no hope
Because she'd missed the boat
And as her dreams sailed away,
She headed back for the day,
Back to the city.

Chorus
Night in the city, Oh, oh, oh,
Madness at midnight
Night in the city,
Drivin' you insane.

I was runnin' kinda lonely
At the city places
Waited for an hour
Never saw her face.
Crazy ladies that wait,
And slide around like snake,
I just can't take anymore,
I'm going through the door,
Into the city.

Repeat Chorus
