Oh, the city's alight with lovers and lies And bright blue eyes. Oh, the city is bright, it's brighter than day tonight. (Surrender, surrender) (Surrender, surrender) Sadie said she couldn't work out what it was all about And so she let go. Now Sadie's on the street and the people she meets you know. She tried to be a good girl and a good wife Raise a good family Lead a good life It's not good enough She got herself up on the 48th floor Gotta find out Find out what she's living for. Oh, the city's afire A passionate flame that knows me by name. Oh, the city's desire to take me for more and more. It's in the street gettin' under my feet It's in the air, it's everywhere I look for you. It's in the things that I do and say And it I wanna live I gotta die to myself someday.
