Lyrics

Life In The City

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Life in the city can be land of the lonely

Who's gonna know you when you're lost in the crowd

Everyone's looking after their one and only

Everyone's frightened of talking out loud, they say

You're one of the lonely people

Cause nobody knows your name now

Don't smile at people or they'll tell you your crazy

Be nice to no one or they'll say you're a fool

Look to the ground all the time that you're walking

Stick to yourself, don't you know that's the rules, they say

You're one of the lonely people

Cause nobody knows your name now

Across the street is an open door

There's a man standing out of the rain

He turns his collar to the wind

And you know you'll never see him

You know you'll never see him again

He's one of the lonely people

Cause nobody knows his name now

Say what you like I think you're on in a million

There's nobody like you, you're a class of you're own

The city's the place that we've all gotta live in

If we think of each other we can make it our home

Everyone's fighting for a way to survive

Nobody listens to a word that we say

There's more to life than just staying alive

We can make it, we can make it all day

I'll show you the way

And you'll find

Life in the city's okay
