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 gettin' tired of starin' at the same four walls


You're out of your room and down on the street

Movin' through the crowd and the midnight heat

The traffic crawls, the sirens scream

You look at the faces, it's just like a dream

Nobody knows where you're goin'

Nobody cares where you've been


'Cause you belong to the city

You belong to the night

Livin' in a river of darkness

Beneath the neon lights


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 streets


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

You still don't know where you're goin'

You're still just a face in the crowd


You belong to the city

You belong to the night

Livin' in a river of darkness

Beneath the neon lights


You were born in the city

Concrete under your feet

It's in your blood, it's in your moves

You're a man of the street


You can feel it

You can taste it

You can see it

You can face it

You can hear it

Hey

You're getting near it

Heeey

You wanna make it

Ouuh, ouh

'Cause you can take it

Ouh, ouh, ouuh

You belong to the city

You belong to the night

You belong to the city

You belong to the night

You belong

You belong

Ouuuuuuh, ouuuh
