I used to hear really clear The distortion that would rally my ear Took me 'round to this concrete town Called and pulled like a magnet no fear And at night I held tight to the dark City noose 'round my neck but I knew I'd never break I love to bay at the moon while all the other dogs barked I like the rainy bloody feel Of the city romancin' me Never quite get my fill The city always took its chance with me All of the sudden I'd been caught Cause the underbelly in my soul had seemed bought Closer I step to the edge of the ledge Where inferno meets ice my god! ow it went to my head If I ventured any further to the end of the board I like the "thrill of the k**" the "shudder click" I'd be a bull seein' red Don't not a one of you forget what I said I want s' more rainy bloody chill I need the city romancin' me I never seem to stand still My destined will can you hear me Yeah alright I feel the thunder Don't forget what I said Smokestack lightning is my bed Once more the rainy bloody chill in the air I need the city romance can't stand still there Ooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwww Yeah! HUH, alright, gitit, sh**, c'mon, thats it That's what I said, now listen The sidewalks have engraved in them my name But on this Broadway no flash no flame And whether it's wrong or right I hear my partner in the wind howl no bark just bite I guess I'm stuck being a gambler For the rest of me it's my destiny And people might think I walk this fine line for spite So when you lay resting look real close at tonight and your life For the glowing rope outside Your window yeah baby It might be a time for your ride I need the concrete deep inside yeah! Alright HUH!!
