The story started and it ended so quick
Like Jack and Jill but with heroin
Disco lights and a glint in the eye
Of dancin' girls at the Candy Box night
Queuin' up for somethin' under priced
Workin' weekends just to pay for drugs
This little story keeps repeatin' itself
Readin' fashion mags to look at the girls
In the city, in the city tonight
You live by the sword but you die by the knife
In the city, in the city tonight
In the city, in the city tonight
The story started and it ended so quick
Like Jack and Jill but with heroin
Disco lights and a glint in the eye
Of dancin' girls at the Candy Box night
And I want it all, I want it all for me
These things in life they just don't come for free
Converse boots and a look on her face
That says if you've got the money then I'm yours tonight
In the city, in the city tonight
You live by the sword but you die by the knife
In the city, in the city tonight
In the city, in the city tonight
In the city, in the city tonight
You live by the sword but you die by the knife
In the city, in the city tonight
In the city, in the city tonight
In the city, in the city tonight
You live by the sword but you die by the knife
In the city, in the city I love
In the city, in the city I love
