At night when everyone's in bed I get my bike out of the shed Ride down the hill head for the city It's my favorite place to go Don't think anybody knows How good the world is while they're sleeping So many lights but it's so silent Got the streets all to myself This is what i do Down by the lake i take a break Then up along the main street Buildings so tall they'll never fall Feel safe when hey're around me I've known this city all my life Cut through the backstreets like a knife I ride around till dawn starts breaking
