Lyrics: The Sun goes down, the night rolls in You can feel it starting all over again The moon comes up and the music calls You’re getting tired of staring at the same four walls You’re out of your room and down on the street You can feel the crowds in the midnight heat The traffic roars, the sirens scream 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 street 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 happened, but 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 Living in a river of darkness beneath the neon light You were born in the city Concrete under your feet It’s in your blood, it’s in your moves For a man of the streets You can feel it You can taste it You can see it You can face it You can hear it, yeah You’re getting near it You wanna make it, ooh-ooh ’Cause you can take it, ooh-ooh You belong to the city You belong to the night You belong to the city You belong to the night You belong You belong
