City Romance

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I used to hear really clear The distortion that would rally my ear Bring 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 [Chorus] I like the rainy bloody feel Of the city romancin' me Never quite get my fill, yeah The city always took its chance with me [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] I feel the thunder Don't forget what I said Smokestack lightning is my bed [Chorus] Once more the rainy bloody chill in the air I need the city romance, can't stand still there Ooooww yeah Huh, alright, get it, shit, c'mon, that's it That's what I said, now listen [Verse 3] The sidewalks have engraved in them my name But on this Broadway, no flash, no fame And whether it's wrong or it's 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 at your life [Outro] For the glowing rope outside Your window, yeah baby It might be time for your ride I need the concrete deep inside, yeah Alright Huh
