On a cold and misty morning A bus pulled into town And a hungry little runaway Takes her first look around She came here with no money Just a pocket full of dreams And in her heart she wondered Were it all what it seemed
Living in the city Living in the city This guy has no pity Living in the city
She had visions of a good life Like she saw on TV And pretty soon she took it Or is it that she should never have been Trouble around every corner Sorrow in the street And all roads will lead to nowhere She sees that it ain't so sweet
She's not the first And she won't be the last So many dreams are dying Here in the past
Now no one can find her She's another nameless face Just another loser in this Bloody human race So if you're looking For the bright lights With everyone you ever cursed Do you remind look like heaven But it's hell, you could be lost
Living in the city Living in the city Sometimes it ain't pretty Living in the city
