The City Never Sleeps Lyrics - Fall

Old man, young man 

Preacher saying amen 

Taking up collection 

Playing on a bass drum 

How come the city it never sleeps at night 

Red cars, blue cars 

Payment overdue cars 

Cops with indigestion 

Billionaires and some bums 

How come the city it never sleeps at night 

How come the city it never sleeps at night 

Short girls, tall girls 

Happy that they're all girls 

Walking with some nice man 

Holding hands and then some 

How come the city it never sleeps at night 

Good guys, bad guys 

Millionaires and show guys 

Losers with their hands out 

Patients begging breadcrumb 

How come the city it never sleeps at night 

The city it never sleeps at night 

Long night, short night 

Big hellos and goodbyes 

Dreams of conversation 

Not a single ho-hum 

How come the city it never sleeps at night 

Old man, young man 

Preacher saying amen 

Taking up collection 

Playing on a bass drum 

How come the city it never sleeps at night 

It never sleeps at night
