Well I've got her cane,
Oh and Big Danny is wasted -
He said I'm the sweetest thing.
You know that he's never tasted.
Mariposa's singing love songs,
All in her dark apartment.
Forteen floors a'birthin,
and forteen floors a'dying.
Livin' in the City
We're just livin' in the City.
Livin' in the City
Well it's hard, it's hard, it's hard.
I'll take you to the stairwell,
And give you something I can offer.
You know the heart is not the hopeless,
The heart is a lonely hunter.
Hot long summer days...
We're just sneakin' by the river.
Well, I'll lock my dreams away.
I'll watch the city quiver.
Livin' in the City
We're just livin' in the City.
We're Livin' in the City
Well it's hard, it's hard, it's hard.
Gypsy bit the dust,
You know the shiity hat - it was poisoned
You know now everybody wants
Just a taste of what we sold him.
Standing on the roof tops,
We're just yellin' till the morning.
All surrounded by the visions
Of all who came before them.
Livin' in the City
We're just livin' in the City.
Oh, Livin' in the City
Well it's hard, it's hard, it's hard.
Livin' in the City
We're just livin' in the City.
Oh, Livin' in the City
Well it's hard, it's hard, it's hard.
Oh, it's hard, it's hard, it's hard.
