Do you remember what it was like
The understanding of a child
That knows it's time
Life was like a too full cup
And the world just seemed to open up around us
Like a first night drive-in movie

So we drive the city streets at night
The windows down and Mozart on the radio
That's nice
I need the city
I need this city it's so nice
I need the city
I need this city it's so nice

So these a rolling dice
Are we men or mice?
You can call me Sonny if you think it's wise
But it's out of time
A losing hand, a shooting star
A rag doll sitting in an empty bar
And it's getting late

So we drive the city streets at night
The windows down and Mozart on the radio
That's nice
I need the city
I need this city it's so nice
I need the city
I need this city it's so nice

I need the city
I need the city
In the dust and the rain
I need this shooting pains
So we drive the city streets for hours
The windows down and Mozart on the radio
As the last light disappears
We're on the film again

I need the city
I need this city it's so nice
I need the city
I need this city it's so nice
I need the city
I need this city it's so nice
I need the city
I need this city it's so nice
Nice
Nice
