The City Sleeps

[Booklet notes: This song was written in 1986 but not recorder - until now!]

See the paper rolling down the street
Carrying yesterday's news
In the heat of the night my women sleeps
I watch the late night show
Wish I had somewhere else to go
But there's nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere

I feel this town is gonna eat me up
Spit me out, I turned round...
But the city sleeps

I read a book, I try to concentrate
It's just a compromise - in the heat of the night
My women sleeps, she never realized
She only worries when the kids get ill
It happens sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
See the bedclothes scattered on the floor
I see her sleeping, in the heat of the night
At last I'm lost in the pleasant dream
Just as another siren screams
Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere
