Lyrics

[Verse 1] Somewhere out on that horizon Out beyond the neon lights I know there must be something better But there's nowhere else in sight [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] In the city (oh, oh) In the city (oh, ohhh) [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus] In the city (oh, oh) In the city (oh, ohhh) [Outro] In the city In the city In the city (oh, ohhh)
