The sun goes down
the night grows in
You can feel it starting all over again.
The moon comes up and the music calls
You`re gettin` tired of staring at the same four walls.
You`re out of your room and down on the street
Looking thro;gh the crowd in the midnight heat.
The traffic roars and the sirens scream
You look at the faces
it`s just like a dream.
Nobody knows where you`re going
nobody cares where you`ve been.
`Cause you belong to the city
you belong to the night
Living in a river of darkness beneath the neon light.
You were born in the city
concrete under your feet
It`s in your moves
it`s in your blood:
You`re a man of the streets.
When you said goodbye you were on the run
Tryin` to get away from the things you`ve done.
Now you`re back again and you`re feeling strange
So much has happended and nothing has changed.
Still don`t know where you`re going
You`re still just a face in the crowd.
You belong to the city
you belong to the night
. . .
You can feel it - you can taste it -
You can see it - you can face it.
You can hear it - you`re getting near it -
You wanna make it `cause you can take it.
You belong to the city
you belong to the night
You belong to the city
you belong to the night -
You belong - you belong.
