This City Will Kill You

We were young out on the scene
Life so loud and so much fun
And the party boys in their pretty clothes
Everybody's got it going on
Everybody's got it going on

On the way home, just to score one
In the daytime, in the downtown
And the lights are shining
And the girls are dancing
All the lights are sparkling
And the drugs are working

This city will kill you
This city will kill you

Everybody's praying that it rains (that it rains)
It's been promised now for days
But the sun is high in the sky again
You go out at night and you nurse your pain

You got to get out, you got to get out
You got to run (got to quit this town)
You got to get out, you got to get out
You got to run (got to quit this town tonight)
'Cause this city will kill you
You’ve got to wake up
And figure things out
You’re gеtting too old
They’ll walk over your bones whеn you’re cold
When you're cold

This city will kill you

Why was I (Why was I)
The one to survive (The one to survive)
The one who (The one who)
Didn't succumb, who didn't succumb?
Gotta quit this town
You gotta quit this town tonight

You got to get out, you got to get out
You got to run, gotta quit this town
You got to get out, you got to get out
You got to run, gotta quit this town tonight
This city will kill you
You gotta quit this town
Got to get out
You got to quit this town tonight
Got to get out, got to get out, got to get out
Got to get out, got to get out
