Silent Letter

High In The City

Written by gerry beckley and dewey bunnell, (c)1979

Found on silent letter.

Now i’m high in the city

Feel the evening air

The crowds in the city

Compete for a share

It’s all so busy, a complete affair

Down here…

As i walk through marble

Finding my way out to daylight

One drinking orange vodka

Someone inside here

Will give us a ride dear

I know a place where we both can go

To set our hearts on fire

I know the city’s the only show

Can i take you for a ride

I can make you satisfied

All 'n all it’s worth your while

Change that frown back to a smile

Tonight

Do or die in the misty city

All night long

A nightclub in the middle

Tappin' time to my song

Catch hell for leavin'

They are always wrong

Down here…

As i walk through marble

Finding my way in the night-light

Two people sit and argue

Someone inside here

Will give them a ride clear

I know a place where we both can go

To set our hearts on fire

I know the city’s the only show

Can i take you for a ride

I can make you satisfied

All 'n all it’s worth your while

Change that frown back to a smile

Tonight
