Razorlight - In The City lyrics

rate me

Well it's a close one, a real close one

but no-one gets hurt and she's got twice the fun

now they kiss in the rain

And did someone call out someone's name

From a white cadillac on a wide wind

To her white dress across the great divide

Into the warm moonlight

And she's been reading Bukowski for days

leans over, spits her name in my face

And says "Well now you know how it feels"

"Well now you know how it feels"

And I was looking for you

Looking for you

Looking for you in the city last night

And the boys in the band steal a kiss in the mystery of the night

11:59 to zero, little blonde hair in jeans, holds her tight

Turns on the heat and starts to fight and sayin' "that's my man"

Well the myth of love must have been there

The spirit of possession was there

And the boys at the bar

Yeah they're mixing up their medicines

The girls were on their mobile trying to get reception

and Johnny's shadow's getting long but he keeps on singing

His shadow getting long but he keeps on singing

But I was looking for you

Looking for you

Looking for you in the city last night

And people so strange

People so strange

People just keep talking in the city last night

Take off your shades and scroll down to number nine

You're living on the guest list, up against the meat rack

Head back, hand out, it's getting loud in here

Think you're going to have to shout

And she's tearing off her clothes

He's mixing his drinks all up

Streets divide them

It's an empire of signs

and Honey say she can read

And it looks like trouble

And it tastes like chocolate if you want it

It looks like trouble

but it tastes like chocolate if you want it

Still I was looking for you

Looking for you

Looking for you in the city last night

And people so strange

People so strange

People get so ugly in the city at night

And I was looking for you

And I was looking for you

And I was looking for you in the city last night

And I was looking for you

Yeah I was looking for you

Yeah I was looking for you in the city last night

It's alright!

It's alright!

If you say my name

It's alright!
