Standin' at the airport lookin' down the strip   she was dryin' her eyes, she was bitin' her lip   Seven-four-seven just left from gate eleven   and there's no turnin' round 'cos it's just leavin' the ground   and gettin' higher higher      Standin' at the dock-side lookin' out to sea   when I saw her but she did not see me   There she stood with no hope because she'd missed the boat   and as her dreams sailed away she headed back for the day   back to the city city      Night in the city, o-o-oh   madness at mid-mid-mid-midnight   night in the city drivin' you insane      In the city city      Night in the city, o-o-oh   madness at mid-mid-mid-midnight   night in the city drivin' you insane      I was runnin' kinda lonely at the city place   I waited for an hour, I never saw her face   Crazy ladies that wait and slide around like a snake   I just can't take anymore, I'm going in through the door   into the city city      I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you   I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you   I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you   I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you   I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you   I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you   drivin' you insane      Night in the city, o-o-oh   madness at mid-mid-mid-midnight   night in the city drivin' you insane   drivin' you insane   drivin' you insane
