Flowers In The City Lyrics by David Johansen

Times Square: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

1980

[Verse 1: David Johansen]
Look out, boys
'Cause here comes another city (in any city now)
I like it, it's peculiar and sweet (in every city now)
I would [?] dance until I'm crazy (in any city now)
And check out the reaction on the street (in every city now)
[Chorus: David Johansen & Robin Johnson]
And I will never be kept down (hey, hey, hey)
And we will always be around (hey, hey, hey)
And you will always hear that sound (hey, hey, hey)
Forever and ever (forever)
[Verse 2: David Johansen]
A flower has bloomed up in the city (in every city now)
And it's colored very cruel (in any city now)
And Nicky gets all down and dirty (in every city now)
And it is a natural thing to do (in any city now)
[Chorus: Robin Johnson]
And it will never be put down (hey, hey, hey)
And we can always be around (hey, hey, hey)
And you can always hear that sound (hey, hey, hey)
Forever and ever (forever)
[Bridge: Robin Johnson]
In every city now
In every city now
[Verse 3: David Johansen]
Some busted girl could get lost in the city (in any city now)
And never have to go home anymore (in every city now)
Or fall asleep in a field of poppies (in any city now)
Just hanging out at the candy store (in every city now)
[Chorus: David Johansen, Robin Johnson, David Johansen & Robin Johnson]
And it will never be kept down (hey, hey, hey)
And you can always hear that sound (hey, hey, hey)
And we will always be around (hey, hey, hey)
And we will never be put down (hey, hey, hey)
And you will always hear that sound (hey, hey, hey)
And we will always be around (hey, hey, hey)
And you will always hear that sound (hey, hey, hey)
(Hey, hey, hey)
(Hey, hey, hey)
(Hey, hey, hey)
(Forever)
