The sun goes down
the night grows in
You can feel it starting all over again.
The moon comes up and the music calls
You’re gettin’ tired of staring at the same four walls.
You’re out of your room and down on the street
Looking thro;gh the crowd in the midnight heat.
The traffic roars and the sirens scream
You look at the faces
it’s just like a dream.
Nobody knows where you’re going
nobody cares where you’ve been.
‘Cause you belong to the city
you belong to the night
Living in a river of darkness beneath the neon light.
You were born in the city
concrete under your feet
It’s in your moves
it’s in your blood:
You’re a man of the streets.
When you said goodbye you were on the run
Tryin’ to get away from the things you’ve done.
Now you’re back again and you’re feeling strange
So much has happended and nothing has changed.
Still don’t know where you’re going
You’re still just a face in the crowd.
You belong to the city
you belong to the night
. . .
You can feel it — you can taste it —
You can see it — you can face it.
You can hear it — you’re getting near it —
You wanna make it ’cause you can take it.
You belong to the city
you belong to the night
You belong to the city
you belong to the night —
You belong — you belong.
