The City Never Sleeps Songtext / Lyric

Old man, young man

Preacher saying amen

Taking up collection

Playing on a bass drum

How come the city it never sleeps at night



Red cars, blue cars

Payment overdue cars

Cops with indigestion

Billionaires and some bums

How come the city it never sleeps at night

How come the city it never sleeps at night



Short girls, tall girls

Happy that they're all girls

Walking with some nice man

Holding hands and then some

How come the city it never sleeps at night






Good guys, bad guys

Millionaires and show guys

Losers with their hands out

Patients begging breadcrumb

How come the city it never sleeps at night

The city it never sleeps at night



Long night, short night

Big hellos and goodbyes

Dreams of conversation

Not a single ho-hum

How come the city it never sleeps at night



Old man, young man

Preacher saying amen

Taking up collection

Playing on a bass drum

How come the city it never sleeps at night



It never sleeps at night
