City Nights Lyrics by Melissa Manchester

Emergency

0

[Verse 1]
I got a hunger running deep
I got a pain that you can't see
Here in the city, I feel free to chase what's calling me
Now in a world that plays for keeps
There is a party in the streets
I'm gonna do what I have to do to make a life for me
[Pre-Chorus]
But it takes you some time
'Till you get you a mind of your own
[Chorus]
City nights, I'll be what I wanna be
The nights are gonna rescue me
'Cause you know that I'm living deep in the city nights
I'm never gonna be alone
City nights'll be my home
[Post-Chorus]
(City nights) City nights
(City nights)
(City nights) City nights
[Verse 2]
I work all day, it's wasting time
It pays the bills, it kills my mind
But I do what I have to do to keep my dream alive
But when the moonlight hits the street
I feel the thunder of the beat
And suddenly, I know what I've been waiting for
[Pre-Chorus]
But it takes you some time
'Till you get you a mind of your own
[Chorus]
City nights, I'll be what I wanna be
The nights are gonna rescue me
'Cause you know that I'm living deep in the city nights
I'm never gonna be alone
City nights'll be my home
[Post-Chorus]
(City nights) City nights
(City nights) City nights
(City nights) City nights
(City nights) City nights
(City nights) City nights
(City nights) City nights
[Bridge]
I can't wait any longer, I know where I belong
There's my star, moving faster
And I'll take my chances, I got to be strong
City nights
[Chorus]
City nights, I'll be what I wanna be
The nights are gonna rescue me
'Cause you know that I'm living deep in the city nights
I'll be what I wanna be
The nights are gonna rescue me
'Cause you know that I'm living deep in the city nights
I'll be what I wanna be
The nights are gonna rescue me
'Cause you know that I'm living deep in the city nights
I'll be what I wanna be
The nights are gonna rescue me
'Cause you know that I'm living deep in the city nights
I'll be what I wanna be
The nights are gonna rescue me
'Cause you know that I'm living deep in the city nights
I'll be what I wanna be
The nights are gonna rescue me
'Cause you know that I'm living deep in the city nights
I'll be what I wanna be
The nights are gonna rescue me
'Cause you know that I'm living deep in the city nights
