So
baby there you stand
the bottle in your hand
shouting to the night
while the city sleeps
Caught in the light of a car
or subway station sparks
I see your face again
guess it's time to leave
And I watch you fall from a great height
and you watch me fail night after night
And still the sound, still the sound of the city
tonight
keeps my dreams and my demons alive
Baby I'm still alive
I hear the city breathe
I dream the city's dreams
and she's still in my arms
for another year
So bring your broken hearts
call me the King of Cards
I'll make them disappear
with a sleight of hand
And I watch you fall from a great height
and you watch me fail night after night
And still the sound, still the sound of the city
tonight
keeps my dreams and my demons alive
Baby I'm still alive
Still you don't come, you won't come
but the fever has broken
and the daylight is blinding your eyes
And still you don't come, you won't come
but the city she's not done
she's calling, she's calling your name
