Hey girl I’m callin’ all stations, blowin down the wire tonight
I’m singing through these power lines, I’m runnin’ on time and feelin’ alright
Skippin’ over the currents in the air, reachin’ to see if you’re out there
Come across your radio station, calling out nation to nation
If you can hear me then say alright, and if you can
Meet me in the city tonight
I was busted for feeling no pain
Charged with doin’ things I can’t explain
Picked up for parole violation
Locked with the boys in the subway station
Handcuffed on the killing floor
Transmittin’ from behind these jailhouse doors
If you’re sick, if you’re tired, if you’re bored
Then check the line, check the time, check the action, check the score
Come and get me if I ain’t right, but if I am
Meet me in the city tonight
Everybody’s lost in romance
Do you feel the way I feel
I’m just searching, girl, for the blood, for the bone, for the muscle, for what’s real
I was busted for feeling no pain
Charged with doin’ things I can’t explain
Picked up for parole violation
Locked with the boys in the subway station
I pushed my way through the heart of the crowd
I shoved my way through the heart of the crowd
Past the sign saying this is not allowed
To where someone’s standing straight and shouting out loud
Handcuffed to the jailhouse door
Transmittin’ from the gallows floor
If you’re sick, if you’re tired, if you’re bored
Check the line, check the time, check the action, check the score
If you can holler, then say alright
If you can holler, then say alright
If you can holler, then say alright
If you can holler, then say alright
If you can holler, then say alright, and if you can
Meet me in the city tonight
Meet me in the city tonight
Meet me in the city tonight
Meet me in the city tonight
