Old man, young man<br />
Preacher saying amen<br />
Taking up collection<br />
Playing on a bass drum<br />
How come the city it never sleeps at night<br />
<br />
<br />
Red cars, blue cars<br />
Payment overdue cars<br />
Cops with indigestion<br />
Billionaires and some bums<br />
How come the city it never sleeps at night<br />
How come the city it never sleeps at night<br />
<br />
Short girls, tall girls<br />
Happy that they're all girls<br />
Walking with some nice man<br />
Holding hands and then some<br />
How come the city it never sleeps at night<br />
<br />
Good guys, bad guys<br />
Millionaires and show guys<br />
Losers with their hands out<br />
Patients begging breadcrumb<br />
How come the city it never sleeps at night<br />
The city it never sleeps at night<br />
<br />
Long night, short night<br />
Big hellos and goodbyes<br />
Dreams of conversation<br />
Not a single ho-hum<br />
How come the city it never sleeps at night<br />
<br />
<br />
Old man, young man<br />
Preacher saying amen<br />
Taking up collection<br />
Playing on a bass drum<br />
How come the city it never sleeps at night<br />
<br />
<br />
It never sleeps at night
