Lyrics

[00:10.44] This city never sleeps
[00:15.44] I hear the people walk by when it's late
[00:20.00] Sirens bleed through my windowsill
[00:22.19] I can't close my eyes
[00:24.63] Don't control what I'm into
[00:30.82] This tower is alive
[00:35.31] The lights that blind keep me awake
[00:39.69] With my hood up and lace untied
[00:42.55] Sleep fills my mind
[00:44.69] Don't control what I'm into
[00:50.44] London calls me a stranger
[00:55.13] A traveller
[00:59.38] This is now my home, my home
[01:11.96] I'm burning on the back street
[01:16.15] Stuck here sitting in the backseat
[01:21.15] And I'm blazing on the street
[01:24.02] What I do isn't up to you
[01:26.02] And if the city never sleeps
[01:27.33] Then that makes two
[01:34.58] The pavement is my friend
[01:38.89] It will take me where I need to go
[01:43.39] I find it trips me up
[01:45.33] And puts me down
[01:48.40] This is not what I'm used to
[01:53.21] The shop across the road
[01:58.77] Fulfills my needs and gives me company
[02:01.33] When I need it
[02:03.02] Voices speak through my walls
[02:05.08] I don't think I'm gonna make it
[02:07.96] Past tomorrow
[02:13.90] London calls me a stranger
[02:18.39] A traveller
[02:23.77] This is now my home, my home
[02:35.39] I'm burning on the back street
[02:39.39] Stuck here sitting in the backseat
[02:44.33] I'm blazing on the street
[02:47.08] What I do isn't up to you
[02:49.27] And if the city never sleeps
[02:50.58] Then that makes two
[02:52.96] And my lungs hurt
[02:55.21] And my ears bled
[02:57.20] With the sound of the city life
[02:59.70] Echoed in my head
[03:02.77] Do I need this to keep me alive?
[03:06.71] The traffic stops and starts
[03:08.39] But I need to move along
[03:15.02] London calls me a stranger
[03:24.71] This is not my home, home
[03:36.58] I'm burning on the back street
[03:40.58] Stuck here sitting in the backseat
[03:45.58] I'm blazing on the street
[03:48.39] What I do isn't up to you
[03:50.52] And if the city never sleeps
[03:51.89] Then that makes two
