[00:10.73] This city never sleeps
[00:14.71] I hear the people walk by when it’s late
[00:19.13] Sirens bleed through my windowsill
[00:22.15] I can’t close my eyes
[00:24.07] Don’t control what I’m into
[00:29.22] This tower is alive
[00:33.98] The lights that blind keep me awake
[00:38.13] With my hood up and lace untied
[00:41.33] Sleep fills my mind
[00:43.05] Don’t control what I’m into
[00:46.63]
[00:49.00] London calls me a stranger
[00:53.40] A traveller
[00:58.43] This is now my home, my home
[01:10.15] I’m burning on the back street
[01:14.16] Stuck here sitting in the backseat
[01:18.55] I’m blazing on the street
[01:21.38] What I do isn’t up to you
[01:23.34] And if the city never sleeps
[01:25.00] Then that makes two
[01:26.47]
[01:32.00] The pavement is my friend
[01:35.30] Hey, and it will take me where I need to go
[01:40.67] I find it trips me up
[01:43.36] And puts me down
[01:45.18] This is not what I’m used to
[01:51.31] The shop across the road
[01:55.65] Fulfills my needs and gives me company
[01:58.57] When I need it
[02:00.08] Voices speak through my walls
[02:02.41] I don’t think I’m gonna make it
[02:04.52] Past tomorrow
[02:08.76]
[02:09.93] London calls me a stranger
[02:15.04] A traveller
[02:19.58] This is now my home, my home
[02:31.65] I’m burning on the back street
[02:35.69] Stuck here sitting in the backseat
[02:39.89] I’m blazing on the street
[02:42.91] What I do isn’t up to you
[02:44.98] And if the city never sleeps
[02:46.41] Then that makes two
[02:47.62]
[02:49.11] And my lungs hurt
[02:51.28] And my ears bled
[02:53.85] With the sound of the city life
[02:55.38] Echoed in my head
[02:58.36] Do I need this to keep me alive?
[03:02.32] The traffic stops and starts
[03:04.18] But I need to move along
[03:07.27]
[03:10.36] London calls me a stranger
[03:19.83] This is not my home
[03:32.00] I’m burning on the back street
[03:36.04] Stuck here sitting in the backseat
[03:40.67] I’m blazing on the street
[03:43.19] What I do isn’t up to you
[03:45.06] And if the city never sleeps
[03:46.32] Then that makes two
[03:51.00] I’m blazing on the street
[03:53.02] I’m burning on the back street
[03:57.07] I’m blazing on the street
[04:02.22] What I do isn’t up to you
[04:04.24] And if the city never sleeps
[04:05.50] Then that makes two
