AMERICA - HIGH IN THE CITY lyrics

rate me

Written by Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell, ©1979

Found on Silent Letter.

Now I'm high in the city

Feel the evening air

The crowds in the city

Compete for a share

It's all so busy, a complete affair

Down here...

As I walk through marble

Finding my way out to daylight

One drinking orange vodka

Someone inside here

Will give us a ride dear

I know a place where we both can go

To set our hearts on fire

I know the city's the only show

Can I take you for a ride

I can make you satisfied

All 'n all it's worth your while

Change that frown back to a smile

Tonight

Do or die in the misty city

All night long

A nightclub in the middle

Tappin' time to my song

Catch hell for leavin'

They are always wrong

Down here...

As I walk through marble

Finding my way in the night-light

Two people sit and argue

Someone inside here

Will give them a ride clear

I know a place where we both can go

To set our hearts on fire

I know the city's the only show

Can I take you for a ride

I can make you satisfied

All 'n all it's worth your while

Change that frown back to a smile

Tonight
