[al:5]
[00:02.94] This city never sleeps
[00:06.88] I hear the people walk by when it's late
[00:11.28] Sirens bleed through my windowsill
[00:14.09] I can't close my eyes
[00:15.75] Don't control what I'm into
[00:21.29] This tower is alive
[00:25.65] The lights that blind keep me awake
[00:29.24] With my hood up and lace untied
[00:32.36] Sleep fills my mind
[00:34.19] Don't control what I'm into
[00:39.61] London calls me a stranger
[00:43.82] A traveller
[00:48.96] This is now my home, my home
[00:59.97] I'm burning on the back street
[01:03.79] Stuck here sitting in the backseat
[01:08.46] And I'm blazing on the street
[01:11.01] What I do is not up to you
[01:12.96] 'Cause if the city never sleeps
[01:14.11] then that makes two, yeah
[01:16.31] The pavement is my friend
[01:20.48] And it will take me where I need to go
[01:24.74] I find it trips me up
[01:27.73] and puts me down
[01:29.29] This is not what I'm used to
[01:34.75] The shop across the road
[01:39.12] fills my needs and gives me company
[01:41.70] when I need it
[01:43.13] Voices speak through my walls
[01:45.22] And I, I don't think I'm gonna make it
[01:47.64] past tomorrow
[01:53.27] London calls me a stranger
[01:57.66] A traveller
[02:02.66] This is now my home, my home
[02:13.62] I'm burning on the back street
[02:17.63] Stuck here sitting in the backseat
[02:22.18] And I'm blazing on the street
[02:24.66] What I do is not up to you
[02:26.61] 'Cause if the city never sleeps
[02:27.78] then that makes two
[02:30.25] My lungs hurt
[02:32.26] And my ears bled
[02:34.70] With the sound of the city life
[02:36.56] echoed in my head
[02:39.36] Do I need this to keep me alive?
[02:43.11] The traffic stops and starts
[02:44.68] But I need to move along
[02:50.59] I'm from a city where the rain won't cease
[02:52.53] Pollution in the air matches that on the street
[02:54.74] 'Cause the black smoke gets you head into a muddle like
[02:56.88] walking into elephant syringes in the puddle like
[02:59.55] I was a country boy when I moved out
[03:01.61] Grew up too fast for my family to find out
[03:03.85] Now I try to stop my music running into nosedives
[03:05.94] Can't resort to arrogance with white lies
[03:07.86] Now
[03:08.68] This city won't erase me
[03:10.32] But I can't help to see how this dark city changed me
[03:13.13] It's all the same scene, music is my life
[03:14.75] But I try to fight whatever I need to hide from
[03:17.58] North, south, east, west, London's my home now
[03:20.11] Knees weak, but we never slow down
[03:21.90] Now I start to do my music properly
[03:23.71] And stay from all the negative shit that will follow me
[03:27.03] London calls me a stranger
[03:36.54] This is not my home now
[03:43.01] Home
[03:47.52] I'm burning on the back street
[03:51.41] Stuck here sitting in the backseat
[03:56.23] And I'm blazing on the street
[03:58.67] What I do is not up to you
[04:00.75] 'Cause if the city never sleeps
[04:01.90] then that makes two
[04:06.24] I'm burning on the back street
[04:09.98] Stuck here sitting in the backseat
[04:14.64] And I'm blazing on the street
[04:16.98] What I do is not up to you
[04:18.98] 'Cause if the city never sleeps
[04:20.20] then that makes two
[04:22.16]
