Lyrics

[01:24.93] The city never sleeps,
[01:28.42] I hear the people walk by when it's late,
[01:31.42]
[01:32.67] Sirens beat through my window cill,
[01:35.29] I can't close my eyes,
[01:37.09] Don't control what I'm into.,
[01:40.09]
[01:41.77] This town is alive,
[01:45.14] With lights that blind keep me awake,
[01:48.88]
[01:49.89] Put my hood up, unlace and tie,
[01:52.94] The street fills my mind,
[01:54.76] Don't control what I'm into.,
[01:57.52]
[01:59.58] London calls me a stranger,
[02:03.20]
[02:04.01] A traveller Ohoohohh,
[02:07.69]
[02:08.88] This is now my home, My home,
[02:14.56] Oh Woah,
[02:17.49]
[02:19.48] Burning on the back street,
[02:21.17] Oh Woah,
[02:22.73] Stuck here, sitting in the back seat,
[02:24.85] Oh Woah,
[02:26.85] And I'm blazing on the street,
[02:29.16] What I do isn't upto you,
[02:31.40] And if the city never sleeps then that makes two.,
[02:34.58] The pavement is my friend,
[02:37.27] It'll take me where I need to go,
[02:41.20] If I find it trips me up,
[02:45.07] And puts me down,
[02:46.38] This is not what I'm used to.,
[02:49.69]
[02:52.12] The shop across the road,
[02:55.31]
[02:55.99] It fills my needs and keeps me company,
[02:58.57] When I need it,
[03:00.06] Voices beat through my walls,
[03:01.88] I don't think I'm gonna make it,
[03:04.31] Past to-mor-roow.,
[03:07.74]
[03:09.55] London calls me a stranger,
[03:12.64]
[03:13.64] A traveller Ohoohohh,
[03:17.26]
[03:18.32] This is now my home, My home,
[03:23.69]
[03:24.50] Oh Woah,
[03:27.56]
[03:28.31] Burning on the back street,
[03:30.99] Oh Woah,
[03:32.05] Stuck here, sitting in the back seat,
[03:34.61] Oh Woah,
[03:36.48] And I'm blazing on the street,
[03:39.04] What I do isn't upto you,
[03:41.22] And if the city never sleeps then that two.,makes
[03:44.32] And my lungs hurt,
[03:46.50] And my ears bled,
[03:48.62] With the sounds of the city life,
[03:50.50] Echoed in my head,
[03:52.18]
[03:52.87] Do I need this, To keep me alive?
[03:56.88] The traffic stops and starts but I,
[03:59.21] Need to move alone.,
[04:01.40]
[04:38.66] London calls me a stranger,
[04:42.33]
[04:47.51] This is now my home, Home,
[04:52.75] Oh Woah,
[04:54.86]
[04:58.23] Burning on the back street,
[04:59.97] Oh Woah,
[05:01.66] Stuck here, sitting in the back seat,
[05:03.91] Oh Woah,
[05:05.71] And I'm blazing on the street,
[05:08.35] What I do isn't upto you,
[05:10.46] And if the city never sleeps then that makes two
[05:12.89]
[05:14.89] I’m burning on the back street
[05:17.63]
[05:19.00] Stuck here sitting in the backseat
[05:21.19]
[05:23.19] I’m blazing on the street
[05:25.80] What I do isn’t up to you
[05:28.24] And if the city never sleeps
[05:29.36] Then that makes two
