In The City (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

Somewhere out on that horizon,
Out beyond the neon lights,
I know there must be something better
But there’s nowhere else in sight

It’s survival in the city
When you live from day to day
City streets don’t have much pity
When you’re down, that’s where you’ll stay
In the city, in the city

I was born here in the city
With my back against the wall
Nothing grows, and life ain’t very pretty
No one’s there to catch you when you fall

Somewhere out on that horizon,
Far away from the neon sky,
I know there must be something better
And I can’t stay another night
In the city, in the city

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

Come along
Into the city
Where the girls are pretty
And you can’t go wrong

Take your time
No need to hurry
Don’t have to worry
Cause it won’t take long

Well you can surf in the city
You can swim in the pools
Do anything you want
Because there ain’t no rules
Drive your super-stock carbur to the long highway
And you can drag.

In the city in the falling right
The kids are hip and they can dance all night
In the city all the girls are pretty and they go…

Come along
Into the city
Where the girls are pretty
And you can’t go wrong

Well you can surf in the city
You can swim in the pools
Do anything you want
Because there ain’t no rules
Drive your super-stock carbur to the long highway
And you can drag.

In the city in the falling right
The kids are hip and they can dance all night
In the city all the girls are pretty and they go…

In the city, into the city…

In the city there’s a thousand things I want to say to you
But whenever I approach you, you make me look a fool
I wanna say, I wanna tell you
About the young ideas
But you turn them into fears
In the city there’s a thousand faces all shining bright
And those golden faces are under 25
They wanna say, they gonna tell ya
About the young idea
You better listen now you’ve said your bit-a

And I know what you’re thinking
You still think I am crap
But you’d better listen man
Because the kids know where it’s at

In the city there’s a thousand men in uniforms
And I hope the never have the right to kill a man
We wanna say, we gonna tell ya
About the young idea
And if it don’t work, at least we said we’ve tried

In the city, in the city
In the city there’s a thousand things I want to say to you

Well it’s a close one, a real close one
And no-one gets hurt, but she’s got twice the fun
But now they kiss in the rain
And did someone call out someone’s name
From a white cadillac on a wide wind
To her white dress across the great divide
Into the warm moonlight
And she’s been reading Bukowski for days
And she leans over, spits her name in my face
And says "Well now you know how it feels"
Well now you know how it feels

And I was looking for you
Looking for you
Looking for you in the city last night

The boys in the band steal a kiss in the mystery of the night
11:59 to zero, live a blonde hair in jeans, holds her tight
Turns on the heat and starts to fight and sayin’ "that’s my man"
Well the myth of love must have been there
The spirit of possession was there

And the boys over at the bar
Yeah they’re mixing up their medicine
The girls were on their mobile trying to get reception
Johnny’s shadow’s getting long but he keeps on singing
His shadow getting long but he keeps on singing:

And I was looking for you
Looking for you
Looking for you in the city last night

And people so strange
People so strange
People just keep talking in the city last night

Take off your shades and scroll down to number nine
You’re living on the guest list, up against the big rack
Head back, hand highs, it’s getting loud in here
Think you’re going to have to shout
And she’s tearing off her clothes
He’s stirring all his drinks, oh yeah
Streets divide them
It’s an empire of signs
Honey say she can read
And it looks like trouble
And it tastes like chocolate if you want it
It looks like trouble
And it tastes like chocolate if you want it

Still I was looking for you
Looking for you
Looking for you in the city last night

And people so strange
People so strange
People just keep talking in the city last night

And I was looking for you
And I was looking for you
And I was looking for you in the city last night

And I was looking for you
Yeah I was looking for you
Yeah I was looking for you in the city last night

It’s alright!
It’s alright!
If you say my name
It’s alright!

He is just a boy in the city
Dressed the same he’s uniformly pretty
He knows it’s the time
He can read the signs
He can really change
In the city

The best dressed boy in town he thinks it’s funny
Half a dozen jobs makes his money
He is just a boy in the city
Friday night propels walter mitty
It’s about time
He can read the signs
A night on the town
In the city

Monday is a work day
Tuesday’s much the same
Wednesday comes and goes away
Thursday’s back again

Friday night is sunday in the morning
Monday brings the weekend’s final yawning
Now it’s about time
He has crossed the line
He is miles away
In the city

(city!)

(city!)

(city!)

(city!)

Now it’s about time
He can read the signs
He can really change
It is on his mind
He has crossed the line
He has gone once more
From the city

If I asked you now, I know you wouldn’t give it up

If I asked you how,you’d give that look to kill
Oh it gives you a chill
But Ohhhhh it gives me a thrill to say

-Chorus-
Do you love, do you love me, do you love me, little pretty
Can you tell me,can you tell me
What’s going on In The City

Sittin there tryin to look so sweet
Every word you say is full of decit

-Bridge-
If I asked you how,you’d give that look to kill
Oh it gives you a chill
But Ohhhhh it gives me a thrill to say

Do you love, do you love me, do you love me, little pretty

Gotta tell me once again, do you love me(3x)

[i’m working for the dogs in the city]
Your mind was strong but your body was weak
Now your body’s here but your mind has snuffed it
I think it’s time that somebody stopped it.
On the screen there’s a boy with no name
It looks like like you but it’s just not the same
You’re so damn gone, i can hardly see you
It must have been a double at the bbc
Oh yeah…
In the city, in the disco
[think you’re] pretty, [ … ]
It’s a shit-hole, you’re a hero,
You’re a freak-oh….
Just when i think i’m getting the knack
I’ll see you and have a panic attack
I’m an acrobat on the channel changer
And it seems i’m out of danger
Oh yeah….
In the city, in the disco
[think you’re] pretty, [ … ]
It’s a shit-hole, you’re a hero,
You’re a freak-oh….

Somewhere out there on that horizon
Out beyond the neon lights
I know there must be somethin’ better
but there’s nowhere else in sight
It’s survival in the city
When you live from day to day
City streets don’t have much pity
When you’re down, that’s where you’ll stay
In the city, oh, oh.

I was born here in the city
With my back against the wall
Nothing grows, and life ain’t very pretty
No one’s there to catch you when you fall
Somewhere out on that horizon
Faraway from the neon sky
I know there must be somethin’ better
And I can’t stay another night
In the city, oh, oh.

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

East side, west side
larcency and homicide
people trying to survive.
Prostitution, retribution
toxic waste and air pollution
politics: no solution.

I’ve come from the other side of town
This concrete jungle’s got me down
I feel the heet, from the street

Live in the city,
die in the city.
Talk is cheap and the air smells shitty.
Laugh in the city,
cry in the city.
It’s my home, but it sure ain’t pretty.

Uptown, downtown
On the streets and underground
People trying to get around.
Skyscrapers, money makers
New York Knicks and L.A. Lakers
One too many circuit brakers.

Live in the city,
die in the city.
Talk is cheap and the air smells shitty.
Laugh in the city,
cry in the city.
It’s my home, but it sure ain’t pretty.

Mornings when i wake too early
There’s a dead light in the room
Rain is falling through
The dark and the moon
The waking hour appears pretty soon
Everyone is sleeping though
I lie in a curtained room

Somewhere in a city
Holding so many names
Somehow in the distance
I’ve gone to ground
Somewhere in a city
Somewhere between the crowd
Somehow in the distance
I’ve gone to ground

Only the shadow remains
Only the shadow of doubt
Three years of memories
Memories without a sight
The end of another year
How will i survive ?
How suddenly fear begins
In a bedroom on the floor

Somewhere in a city
Holding so many names
Somewhere in the crowd
Somewhere in the distance
Somewhere in a city
Holding so many names
Somehow in a city
I’ve gone to ground

The light breaks slowly forward
Across my bedroom wall
Until it defines me somehow
In shadow of doubt
It finds my fugitive life
It’s blurred, blurred with dust
Only heaven collides
When i look above

Somewhere in a city
Holding so many names
Somehow in the distance
I’ve gone to ground
Somewhere in a city
Somewhere between the crowd
Somehow in the distance
I’ve gone to ground

Somewhere in a city
Somewhere between the crowd
Somehow in the distance
I’ve gone to ground
