The sun goes down, the night rolls in You can feel it starting all over again The moon comes up and the music calls You're gettin' tired of starin' at the same four walls You're out of your room and down on the street Movin' through the crowd and the midnight heat The traffic crawls, the sirens scream You look at the faces, it's just like a dream Nobody knows where you're goin', Nobody cares where you've been
'Cause you belong to the city You belong to the night Livin' in a river of darkness Beneath the neon lights You were born in the city Concrete under your feet It's in your moves, it's in your blood You're a man of the street
When you said goodbye, you were on the run Tryin' to get away from the things you've done Now you're back again, and you're feeling strange So much has happened, but nothing has changed You still don't know where you're goin', You're still just a face in the crowd
'Cause you belong to the city You belong to the night Livin' in a river of darkness Beneath the neon lights You were born in the city Concrete under your feet It's in your blood, it's in your moves You're a man of the street
You can feel it, you can taste it You can see it, you can face it You can hear it, hey, you're getting near it, hey You wanna make it 'cause you can take it
