[al:5] |
| [00:43.13] |
This city never sleeps |
| [00:46.93] |
I hear the people walk by when it's late |
| [00:50.83] |
Sirens bleed through my windowsill |
| [00:53.50] |
I can't close my eyes |
| [00:55.15] |
Don't control what I'm into |
| [01:00.35] |
This tower is alive |
| [01:04.50] |
The lights that blind keep me awake |
| [01:08.28] |
With my hood up and lace untied |
| [01:11.10] |
Sleep fills my mind |
| [01:12.73] |
Don't control what I'm into |
| [01:18.01] |
London calls me a stranger |
| [01:22.02] |
A traveller |
| [01:26.58] |
This is now my home, my home |
| [01:37.13] |
I'm burning on the back street |
| [01:40.78] |
Stuck here sitting in the backseat |
| [01:45.11] |
And I'm blazing on the street |
| [01:47.54] |
What I do isn't up to you |
| [01:49.36] |
And if the city never sleeps |
| [01:50.54] |
then that makes two |
| [01:52.67] |
The pavement is my friend |
| [01:56.55] |
And it'll take me where I need to go |
| [02:00.45] |
I find it trips me up |
| [02:03.37] |
and puts me down |
| [02:04.97] |
This is not what I'm used to |
| [02:10.19] |
The shop across the road |
| [02:14.22] |
fulfills my needs and gives me company |
| [02:16.69] |
when I need it |
| [02:18.11] |
Voices speak through my walls |
| [02:19.97] |
And I, I don't think I'm gonna make it |
| [02:22.42] |
past tomorrow |
| [02:27.69] |
London calls me a stranger |
| [02:31.68] |
A traveller |
| [02:36.35] |
This is now my home, my home |
| [02:46.89] |
I'm burning on the back street |
| [02:50.41] |
Stuck here sitting in the backseat |
| [02:54.85] |
And I'm blazing on the street |
| [02:57.28] |
What I do isn't up to you |
| [02:59.11] |
And if the city never sleeps |
| [03:00.18] |
then that makes two |
| [03:02.36] |
And my lungs hurt |
| [03:04.48] |
And my ears bled |
| [03:06.82] |
With the sound of the city life |
| [03:08.38] |
echoed in my head |
| [03:11.01] |
Do I need this to keep me alive? |
| [03:14.65] |
The traffic stops and starts |
| [03:16.07] |
But I need to move along |
| [03:28.03] |
I'm from a city where the rain won't cease |
| [03:29.78] |
Pollution in the air matches that on the street |
| [03:31.97] |
The black smoke gets your head into a muddle like |
| [03:34.07] |
walking into elephant syringes in the puddle like |
| [03:36.48] |
I was a country boy when I moved out |
| [03:38.41] |
Grew up too fast for my family to find out |
| [03:40.58] |
Now I try to stop my music running into nosedives |
| [03:42.64] |
Can't resort to arrogance with white lies |
| [03:44.46] |
Now |
| [03:45.33] |
This city won't erase me |
| [03:46.82] |
But I can't help to see how this dark city changed me |
| [03:49.44] |
It's all the same scene, music is my life |
| [03:51.15] |
But I try to fight whatever I need to hide from |
| [03:53.80] |
North, south, east, west, London's my home now |
| [03:56.35] |
Knees weak, but we never slow down |
| [03:58.00] |
Now I start to do my music properly |
| [03:59.97] |
And stay from all the negative shit that will follow me |
| [04:03.12] |
London calls me a stranger |
| [04:11.65] |
This is not my home |
| [04:18.12] |
Home |
| [04:21.95] |
I'm burning on the back street |
| [04:25.65] |
Stuck here sitting in the backseat |
| [04:29.98] |
And I'm blazing on the street |
| [04:32.30] |
What I do isn't up to you |
| [04:34.16] |
And if the city never sleeps |
| [04:35.38] |
then that makes two |
| [04:39.40] |
I'm burning on the back street |
| [04:42.94] |
Stuck here sitting in the backseat |
| [04:47.41] |
And I'm blazing on the street |
| [04:49.82] |
What I do isn't up to you |
| [04:51.64] |
And if the city never sleeps |
| [04:52.72] |
then that makes two |
| [04:54.13] |
|
