Did you ever walk into the city
Checking pubs for one more shot
Smiling in the distant sunlight
Play the part you never got
Did you ever feel that the city
Dealt you a losers card
Left you stranded in the street and
Feel you didn’t get to star

I’m going back to the city
I’m going back to the city
Did you ever get lost in the city
Walking in the shadows at night
Looking for a smoke on the sidewalk
Hiding from the flashing lights
But did you ever get out of the city
And it made you wonder why
You were kissing y’r newfound girlfriend
Kissing her forever goodbye

2x: I’m going back to the city
I’m going back to the city
I’m going back to the city
