City Romance

I used to hear really clear

the distortion that would rally my ear

took me 'round to this concrete town

called and pulled like a magnet no fear

And at night I held tight to the dark

City noose 'round my neck but I knew I'd never break

I love to bay at the moon while all the other dogs barked

I like the rainy bloody feel

of the city romancin' me

Never quite get my fill

The city always took its chance with me

All of the sudden I'd been caught

cause the underbelly in my soul had seemed bought

Closer I step to the edge of the ledge

where inferno meets ice my god! ow it went to my head

If I ventured any further to the end of the board

I like the "thrill of the kill" the "shudder click"

I'd be a bull seein' red

Don't not a one of you forget what I said

I want s' more rainy bloody chill

I need the city romancin' me

I never seem to stand still

My destined will can you hear me Yeah alright

I feel the thunder

Don't forget what I said

Smokestack lightning is my bed

Once more the rainy bloody chill in the air

I need the city romance can't stand still there

ooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwww Yeah!

HUH, alright, gitit, shit, c'mon, thats it

that's what I said, now listen

The sidewalks have engraved in them my name

but on this Broadway no flash no flame

And whether it's wrong or right

I hear my partner in the wind howl no bark just bite

I guess I'm stuck being a gambler

for the rest of me it's my destiny

And people might think I walk this fine line for spite

so when you lay resting look real close at tonight and your life

For the glowing rope outside

your window yeah baby

It might be a time for your ride

I need the concrete deep inside yeah!

Alright

HUH!!
