The sun goes down the night rolls inYou can feel it starting all over againThe moon comes up and the music callsYou're getting tired of staring at the same four walls
You're out of your room and down on the streetYou can feel the crowds in the midnight heatThe traffic roars the sirens screamLook at the faces it's just like a dream
Nobody knows where you're goingNobody cares where you've been
'Cause you belong to the cityYou belong to the nightLiving in a river of darkness beneath the neon light
You were born in the cityConcrete under your feetIt's in your moves, it's in your bloodYou're a man of the street
When you said goodbye you were on the runTryin' to get away from the things you'd doneNow you're back again and you're feeling strangeSo much has happened but nothing has changed
Still don't know where you're goingYou're still just a face in the crowd
You belong to the cityYou belong to the nightLiving in a river of darkness beneath the neon light
You were born in the cityConcrete under your feetIt's in your blood, it's in your movesFor a man of the streets
You can feel itYou can taste itYou can see itYou can face itYou can hear itYou're getting near itYou're wanna make it'Cause you can take it
You belong to the cityYou belong to the nightYou belong to the cityYou belong to the nightYou belongYou belong
