Urban Clearway - City Lights lyrics

rate me

[CD]<br />

Flying through the sky on a twilight night<br />

Looking down at all the city lights<br />

I've never seen them shine so bright<br />

Sitting here on this flight<br />

<br />

The plane I'm on zooms over somebody's head<br />

Wakes them up while they're lying in bed<br />

Cos when you livin' in the city<br />

Life ain't always so pretty<br />

<br />

When I land I step onto a bus<br />

And everybody makes such a big fuss<br />

When the driver screeches his brakes<br />

His engine's hum causes houses to shake<br />

<br />

The bus I'm on hits somebody's wall<br />

Talk about - a wakeup call<br />

Now the tenant's in a real bad mood<br />

The driver just says - "sorry dude!"<br />

<br />

(Instrumental chorus)<br />

<br />

I get back home and I turn off my light<br />

Time to go to bed and call it a night<br />

But it seems I can't get to sleep<br />

For all the noise & the beep beep beep<br />

<br />

An airplane zooms, over my head<br />

Wakes me up while I'm lying in bed<br />

Cos when you're livin' under city lights<br />

You have many a sleepless night<br />

<br />

10 pillows squashed into my head<br />

I just can't sleep & neither can Jed<br />

([Jed] - Naah-aaahh)<br />

Cos it seems when you live in the city<br />

Life can be so LOUD & shitty!!<br />

<br />

Roadworks drill outside of my room<br />

Can't believe they started so soon<br />

I know at work tomorrow I'll be yawnin'<br />

COS IT'S ONLY 4 O CLOCK IN THE MORNIN!!
