Here on the street    Feeling the cool of the dawn    Shuffling feet    Faces are ragged and worn    They've been working all night    Waiting for the curtain to rise    While you're under the sheets    You with the stars in your eyes    Letter box noise    Snapping the day into life    Newspaper boys    Cutting the mist like a knife    We're beginning to rise    Curtain up the drama begins    It's the start of the race    All of us wanting to win    People rushing shouting pushing    Got no time for conversation    Inner city population    The struggle for communication    People trying pressure rising    Hook and hustle flex your muscle    It's all part of living    Do you wanna get away    Restaurant smells    Mix in the heat of the day    Telephone bells    Kissogram girls on her way    Someone's thinking of you    Birthday boy is in for a treat    And the message is clear    Once a year life can be sweet    Caught in a flash    Cover girl freezes her smile    Media trash    Blinding the crowd with such style    It's a dazzling affair    A fantasy to star in your dreams    Do you want to believe    Everyone knows what they've seen    Twilight time in the city    And the shutters are down    That's when the singles are lost in their doubles    The happy hour comes round    To help you unwind in the shadows    Takes the tension away    It's been a hell of a day in the city    Now it's your time to play    Living under pressure    Do you wanna buy a dream?    I say Phil can you get it he say    Alright alright alright    Tell me when can I get it he say    Tonight tonight tonight    I want money on delivery hey    That's right that's right that's right    I say baby don't you trust me he say    The city's a jungle where the strongest survive    Neonic heat    Flooding the darkness with light    The capitol beats    Feeding the pulse of the night    It's the music of life    Listen to the sound of the crowd    Where the rhythm's so strong    And the music is playing so loud    Where the rhythm's so strong    And the music is playing so....
