Lyrics
While The City Sleeps
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.
What goes on behind closed doors, private wounds, open sores
You're your own worst enemy and cheap thrills bring you to yourknees
It's thumbs down for someone you know, and it's easy come andeasy go
Burn your bridges, take what you can get
Go for the throat 'cause you paid your debt
Livin' well is the best revenge, so give 'em hell
While the city sleeps, it's all there in black and white
While the city sleeps, through the eye of the needle, gottathread your life
While the city sleeps, while the city sleeps
It's a hit or miss, an eye for an eye, live for today, and don'task why
For better or worse, you bought and sold
They love you while you're hot and leave you when you're cold
Burn your bridges, take what you can get
Go for the throat 'cause you paid your debt
Livin' well is the best revenge, so give 'em hell
While the city sleeps, while the city sleeps
While the city sleeps, while the city sleeps
While the city sleeps, yeah, there's no relief
While the city sleeps
