City Tonight lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's getting late and something's waiting in the city of lights
This place is crazy and it makes me wanna f*ck up my mind
I like the lights, the trippy lights, and all the pornographic stores
I light this thing as they complain about the junkies and the whores

When I was young, I dreamed I'd come here, and I guess I did
Survive the sc*m and I'd become someone, but never did
These village slums I let become my life, I guess I did
I'm just a bum, who cares? No, that′s just the way I live

[Chorus]
This is the life
This is the life
You want the life?
You want the life?
(No)

[Verse 2]
It's getting late and guess who's playing in the city tonight
This place's amazing and it makes me wanna f*cking get high
I love the way the buildings sway and all the garbage on the street
The sounds of trains and sirens make lovely music while I sleep

I'm going farther than I ever thought that far could be
By twenty one I had a gun and ditched authority
I've been inside and gotten by on petty felonies
I'm twenty four, and though I'm torn, that's still a part of me
[Chorus]
This is the life
This is the life
You want the life?
You want the life?
(No)

This is the life
You want the life?
This f*cking life?
You want my life?
(No)
