It was the shot heard around the world

The black fur coat on the common girl
Ashes to ashes  we all fall down

And then the gang rolled into town
Just like a scene from a 1950s movie
Ashes to ashes  we all fall down

There's no life in this city
When you're not with me

There's no life in this city
When you're not with me

Hold me now for a second
Don't let me go

Hold me now for a second
Don't let me go home

Hold me now for a second

I wandered in the void tonight
Like a desert star in a lonely winter
Fading out softly like suburban light

And love is all that we have right now
It keeps me going like a generator
Lost in the moment  lost in the lights

There's no life in this city
When you're not with me

There's no life in this city
When you're not with me

Hold me now for a second
Don't let me go

Hold me now for a second
Don't let me go home

Hold me now for a second

There's no life in this city
When you're not with me

There's no life in this city
When you're not with me
