The City Sleeps Lyrics & Chords By Gnidrolog

[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.
