[al:5] |
| [00:43.61] |
This city never sleeps |
| [00:47.41] |
I hear the people walk by when it's late |
| [00:51.61] |
Sirens bleed through my windowsill |
| [00:54.06] |
I can't close my eyes |
| [00:56.04] |
Don't control what I'm into |
| [01:01.68] |
This tower is alive |
| [01:05.71] |
The lights that blind keep me awake |
| [01:09.69] |
With hood up and lace untied |
| [01:12.62] |
Sleep fills my mind |
| [01:14.37] |
Don't control what I'm into |
| [01:19.90] |
London calls me a stranger |
| [01:24.04] |
A traveller |
| [01:28.86] |
This is now my home, my home |
| [01:39.77] |
I'm burning on the back street |
| [01:43.48] |
Stuck here sitting in the backseat |
| [01:48.04] |
And I'm blazing on the street |
| [01:50.70] |
What I do isn't up to you |
| [01:52.70] |
And if the city never sleeps |
| [01:53.84] |
then that makes two |
| [01:56.06] |
The pavement is my friend |
| [02:00.29] |
It'll take me where I need to go |
| [02:04.60] |
I find it trips me up |
| [02:07.29] |
and puts me down |
| [02:09.04] |
This is not what I'm used to |
| [02:14.44] |
The shop across the road |
| [02:18.67] |
fulfills my needs and gives me company |
| [02:21.20] |
when I need it |
| [02:22.56] |
Voices speak through my walls |
| [02:25.16] |
I don't think I'm gonna make it |
| [02:27.11] |
past tomorrow |
| [02:32.66] |
London calls me a stranger |
| [02:36.76] |
A traveller |
| [02:41.52] |
This is now my home, my home |
| [02:52.49] |
I'm burning on the back street |
| [02:56.32] |
Stuck here sitting in the backseat |
| [03:00.91] |
And I'm blazing on the street |
| [03:03.42] |
What I do isn't up to you |
| [03:05.36] |
And if the city never sleeps |
| [03:06.57] |
then that makes two |
| [03:08.73] |
And my lungs hurt |
| [03:10.88] |
And my ears bled |
| [03:13.22] |
With the sound of the city life |
| [03:14.93] |
echoed in my head |
| [03:17.72] |
Do I need this to keep me alive? |
| [03:21.40] |
The traffic stops and starts |
| [03:23.03] |
But I need to move along |
| [03:28.64] |
I'm from a city where the rain won't cease |
| [03:30.55] |
Pollution in the air matches that on the street |
| [03:32.71] |
The black smoke gets you head into a muddle like |
| [03:35.11] |
walking into elephant syringes in the puddle like |
| [03:37.61] |
I was a country boy when I moved out |
| [03:39.68] |
Grew up too fast for my family to find out |
| [03:42.03] |
Now I try to stop my music running into nosedives |
| [03:44.05] |
Can't resort to arrogance with white lies |
| [03:46.72] |
This city won't erase me |
| [03:48.43] |
But I can't help to see how this dark city changed me |
| [03:51.20] |
It's all the same scene, music is my life |
| [03:53.02] |
But now I try to fight whatever I need to hide from |
| [03:55.80] |
North, south, east, west, London's my home now |
| [03:58.34] |
Knees weak, but we never slow down |
| [04:00.11] |
Now I start to do my music properly |
| [04:02.20] |
And stay from all the negative shit that will follow me |
| [04:05.37] |
London calls me a stranger |
| [04:14.28] |
This is not my home |
| [04:20.72] |
Home |
| [04:25.17] |
I'm burning on the back street |
| [04:28.93] |
Stuck here sitting in the backseat |
| [04:33.41] |
And I'm blazing on the street |
| [04:35.88] |
What I do isn't up to you |
| [04:37.82] |
And if the city never sleeps |
| [04:38.95] |
then that makes two |
| [04:43.23] |
I'm burning on the back street |
| [04:46.92] |
Stuck here sitting in the backseat |
| [04:51.48] |
And I'm blazing on the street |
| [04:54.06] |
What I do isn't up to you |
| [04:56.03] |
And if the city never sleeps |
| [04:57.23] |
then that makes two |
| [04:59.35] |
|
