Lyrics
Get out of bed
you're working eight to five
never get ahead
you're just staying alive
Spendin' half of your days
with some spaced out dude
who don't give a damn
and cares nothin' 'bout you
chorus:
City girl with the neon light
shinin' in your eyes
can you see through the disguise of
people passin' by you
would like to try you
people passin' by you
you came into town
just to see a friend
then the concrete ground
closed right in
streetlights
skyscraper laughter
headlights
know what you're after
down on the avenue
in the blacklight bars
rock 'n roll nights
with your Saturday stars
who ain't got a dime
and no place to go
creepin' up your stairs
for the midnight show
chorus
City girl
you never seem to laugh
are these hours a photograph
of yesterday
City girl
callin' down the avenue
my advice to you
run away
chorus
people passin' by you
would like to try you
