Here on the street

Feeling the cool of the dawn

Shuffling feet

Faces are ragged and worn

They''ve been working all night

Waiting for the curtain to rise

While you''re under the sheets

You with the stars in your eyes



Letter box noise

Snapping the day into life

Newspaper boys

Cutting the mist like a knife

We''re beginning to rise

Curtain up the drama begins

It''s the start of the race

All of us wanting to win



People rushing shouting pushing

Got no time for conversation

Inner city population

The struggle for communication

People trying pressure rising

Hook and hustle flex your muscle

It''s all part of living

Do you wanna get away



Restaurant smells

Mix in the heat of the day

Telephone bells

Kissogram girls on her way

Someone''s thinking of you

Birthday boy is in for a treat

And the message is clear

Once a year life can be sweet



Caught in a flash

Cover girl freezes her smile

Media trash

Blinding the crowd with such style

It''s a dazzling affair

A fantasy to star in your dreams

Do you want to believe

Everyone knows what they''ve seen



Twilight time in the city

And the shutters are down

That''s when the singles are lost in their doubles

The happy hour comes round

To help you unwind in the shadows

Takes the tension away

It''s been a hell of a day in the city

Now it''s your time to play



Living under pressure

Do you wanna buy a dream




I say Phil can you get it he say

Alright alright alright

Tell me when can I get it he say

Tonight tonight tonight

I want money on delivery hey

That''s right that''s right that''s right

I say baby don''t you trust me he say

The city''s a jungle where the strongest survive



Neonic heat

Flooding the darkness with light

The capitol beats

Feeding the pulse of the night

It''s the music of life

Listen to the sound of the crowd

Where the rhythm''s so strong

And the music is playing so loud



Where the rhythm''s so strong

And the music is playing so....
