Electric Light Orchestra Night in the City song lyrics
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
'Cause 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...
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.
