While The City Sleeps

(アルバム： Animalize - 1984)

What goes on behind closed doors
Private wounds, open sores
You're your own worst enemy
And cheap thrills bring you to your knees
It's thumbs down for someone you know
And it's easy come and easy go

Burn your bridges, take what you can get
Go for the throat 'cause you paid your debt
Living well is the best revenge, so give them hell

While the city sleeps
Yeah, it's all there in black and white
While the city sleeps
Yeah, through the eye of the needle, gotta thread your life
While the city sleeps
While the city sleeps
Yeah, hit or miss, an eye for an eye
Live for today, and don't ask why
For better or worse, you're bought and sold
They love you when you're hot
And leave you when you're cold

Burn your bridges, take what you can get
Go for the throat 'cause you paid your debt
Living well is the best revenge, so give them hell

While the city sleeps
Yeah, better run for your life
Take your troubles to the night
While the city sleeps
Yeah, beggars, thieves and losers, there's no relief
While the city sleeps
There's no relief, while the city sleeps
While the city sleeps – yeah

Burn your bridges, take what you can get
Go for the throat 'cause you paid your debt
Living well is the best revenge, so give them hell

While the city sleeps – while the city sleeps
While the city sleeps – while the city sleeps
While the city sleeps
Yeah, there's no relief
While the city sleeps
