In The City

Well, it's a close one, a real close one
But no one gets hurt and she's got twice the fun
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
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

And the boys in the band steal a kiss
From the mystery of the night 11:59 to 0
Little blond hair in jeans, holds her tight
Turns on the heat and starts to fight sayin' "That's my man"

Well, the myth of love must have been there
The spirit of possession was there

And the boys at the bar, yeah, they're mixin' up their medicines
The girls were on their mobile trying to get reception
And Johnny's shadow's getting long but he keeps on singin'
His shadow getting long but he keeps on singin'

But 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 at nights

Now take off your shades and scroll down to number nine
You're living on the guest list, up against the meat rack
Head back, hand out, it's gettin' loud in here

Think you're going to have to shout
And she's tearing off her clothes
He's mixing his drinks all up
Streets divide them it's an empire of signs
And honey say she cannot read

And it looks like trouble
And it tastes like chocolate if you want it
It looks like trouble
But 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 get so ugly in the city at night

And I was looking for you
Yeah, I was looking for you
Yeah, 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

And it's alright, alright
Alright, alright
It's alright, alright
It's alright, alright

If you say my name, alright
It's alright, alright
It's alright, alright
[Incomprehensible] alright

Yeah, it's all
Alright, all, alright, all, alright
Yeah, it's all
Alright, all, alright, all, alright
Yeah, it's all
Alright, all, alright, all, alright

Well, you know it's alright
It's alright you know, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
