The City

The city never sleepsI hear the people walk by when it's lateSirens beat through my window cillI can't close my eyesDon't control what I'm intoThis town is aliveWith lights that blind keep me awakePut my hood up, unlace and tieThe street fills my mindDon't control what I'm intoLondon calls me a strangerA traveller OhoohohhThis is now my home, My homeOh WoahBurning on the back streetOh WoahStuck here, sitting in the back seatOh WoahAnd I'm blazing on the streetWhat I do isn't upto youAnd if the city never sleeps then that makes twoThe pavement is my friendIt'll take me where I need to goIf I find it trips me upAnd puts me downThis is not what I'm used toThe shop across the roadIt fills my needs and keeps me companyWhen I need itVoices beat through my wallsI don't think I'm gonna make itPast tomorrowLondon calls me a strangerA traveller OhoohohhThis is now my home, My homeOh WoahBurning on the back streetOh WoahStuck here, sitting in the back seatOh WoahAnd I'm blazing on the streetWhat I do isn't upto youAnd if the city never sleeps then that makes twoAnd my lungs hurtAnd my ears bledWith the sounds of the city lifeEchoed in my headDo I need this, To keep me alive?The traffic stops and starts but INeed to move aloneLondon calls me a strangerThis is now my home, HomeOh WoahBurning on the back streetOh WoahStuck here, sitting in the back seatOh WoahAnd I'm blazing on the streetWhat I do isn't upto youAnd if the city never sleeps then that makes two
