Waking up before the sun
A city full of everyone
Half an hour to cross the town You'd better use the underground Lock steppin' on the beat You're melting in the city heat It's got you thinking where you are Is feeling like an abattoir
Then the night, in a cool and silent way Is calling you out, come out and play
Nobody's sleeping
No one keeping track of time
You're stepping out with no reminders of the grind In the daylight, gotta make rent
When the night falls, take a moment
It's another day in the life
Hell's Kitchen, SoHo,
The East Village, off you go You hope Too Many Zooz's around You'll find them in the underground
In the dark, on a train to everywhere The stir is electric in the air
