Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
In the shining sun
My images they run
Confusing all I've done before I've begun
And every city scene
Becomes a roaring stream
A nightmare and a dream rolled into one

But when the city sleeps
I'm up and on my feet
Along the darkened streets
Hear me run

Through the empty town
Running, laughing, down
No-one else around - to bother old me
By factories I sway
My shadows seem to play
To do this in the day - I'd never be free

But when the city sleeps....
In the shining sun   My images they run   Confusing all I've done before I've begun   And every city scene   Becomes a roaring stream   A nightmare and a dream rolled into one      But when the city sleeps   I'm up and on my feet   Along the darkened streets   Hear me run      Through the empty town   Running, laughing, down   No-one else around - to bother old me   By factories I sway   My shadows seem to play   To do this in the day - I'd never be free      But when the city sleeps....
