WHILE THE CITY SLEEPS
Simmons/Weissman

[Rhy. Fig 1] (3x)

[Rhy. Fig 2] (3x)
What goes on behind closed doors
Private wounds, open sores
You?re your own worst enemy
And cheap thrills bring you to your knees
It?s thumbs down for someone like you
Easy come, easy go

[Rhy. Fig 3]
Burn your bridges, take what you can get
Go for the throat because you paid your debt
Livin? well is the best revenge
So give ?em hell

[Rhy. Fig 1] (2x)
While the city sleeps
Better run for your life
Take your troubles to the night
While the city sleeps
Beggars, thieves and losers
There?s no relief

[Rhy. Fig 2]
For better or for worse you?ve bought and sold
They love you while you?re hot
And leave you when you?re cold

[Rhy. Fig 3]
It?s hit or miss, an eye for an eye
Live for today, and don?t ask why

[Rhy. Fig 1] (2x)
While the city sleeps
It?s all there in black and white
While the city sleeps
Through the eye of the needle
Gotta thread your life

[Rhy. Fig 4]

[Rhy. Fig 2] (4x)

[Rhy. Fig 3]
Burn your bridges, take what you can get
Go for the throat because you paid your debt
Livin? well is the best revenge
So give ?em hell

[Rhy. Fig 1] (2x)
While the city sleeps
Better run for your life
Take your troubles to the night
While the city sleeps
Beggars, thieves and losers
There?s no relief
