In The City

Well it's a close one, a real close one And no one got hurt but she got twice the fun And now they kiss in the rain And did someone call out someone's name From a white Cadillac on a white wind To a white dress Across the great divide Into the warning light And she's been reading Bukowski for days Leans over, spits her name in my face And says “now you know how it feels” Well know you know how it feels And I was looking for you, looking for you Looking for you in the city last night The boys in the band steal a kiss from the mystery of the night 11:59 to 00:00 Little blonde hair and jeans holds it tight Turns on the heat and starts to fight Saying that's my man But the myth of love must have been there The spirit of possession was there And the boys are at the bar they're mixing up their medicines The girls are on their mobiles trying to get reception Johnny's shadow's getting long, but he keeps on singing His shadow's getting long, but he keeps on singing But I was looking for you, looking for you Looking for you In the city last night And people so strange People so strange People just talking in the city at night Now take off your shades and scrawl down the number You're living on the guest list, up against the meat rack Head back, hands outs (It's getting loud in here I think you're going to have to shout) She's tearing off her clothes He's mixing all his drinks The streets divide them And it's an empire of signs That Honey says she can read And it looks like trouble And it tastes like chocolate if you want it And it looks like trouble And it tastes like chocolate if you want it Still I was looking for you, looking for you Looking for you In the city last night People so strange People so strange People get so ugly in the city at night I was looking for you I was looking for you I was looking for you In the city last night I was looking for you I was looking for you I was looking for you In the city last night
