Lyrics

I got a hunger running deep
I got a pain that you can't see
Here in the city I feel free
To chase what's calling me

Now in a world that plays for keeps
There is a party in the streets
I'm gonna do what I have to do
To make a life for me

But it takes you some time
Till you get you a mind of your own

City nights
I'll be what I want to be
The nights are gonna rescue me
Cause you know that I'm living
Deep in the city nights
Never gonna be alone
City nights'll be my home
City nights
City nights

I work all day it's wasting time
It pays the bills it kills my mind
But I do what I have to do
To keep my dream alive
And when the moonlight hits the street
I feel the thunder of the beat
And suddenly I know what I've been waiting for

But it takes you some time
Till you get you a mind of your own

City nights
I'll be what I want to be
The nights are gonna rescue me
Cause you know that I'm living
Deep in the city nights
Never gonna be alone
City nights'll be my home
City nights
City nights
City nights

I can't wait any longer
I know where I belong
There's my star moving faster
But I'll take my chances
I got to be strong
City nights
City nights
City nights
I'll be what I want to be
The night's gonna rescue me
Cause you know that I'm living
Deep in the city nights

I'll be what I want to be
The nights'll rescue me
Cause you know that I'm living
Deep in the city nights

Repeat the last verse and fade.
