In The City

Well it's a close one, a real close one

And no-one gets hurt, but she's got twice the fun

But 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

And she 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



The boys in the band steal a kiss in the mystery of the night

11:59 to zero, live a blonde hair in jeans, holds her tight

Turns on the heat and starts to fight and sayin' "that's my man"

Well the myth of love must have been there

The spirit of possession was there



And the boys over at the bar

Yeah they're mixing up their medicine

The girls were on their mobile trying to get reception

Johnny's shadow's getting long but he keeps on singing

His shadow getting long but he keeps on singing:



And 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 last night



Take off your shades and scroll down to number nine

You're living on the guest list, up against the big rack

Head back, hand highs, it's getting loud in here

Think you're going to have to shout

And she's tearing off her clothes

He's stirring all his drinks, oh yeah

Streets divide them

It's an empire of signs

Honey say she can read

And it looks like trouble

And it tastes like chocolate if you want it

It looks like trouble

And 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 just keep talking in the city last night



And I was looking for you

And I was looking for you

And 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



It's alright!

It's alright!

If you say my name

It's alright!
