Here on the street <br>Feeling the cool of the dawn <br>Shuffling feet <br>Faces are ragged and worn <br>They`ve been working all night <br>Waiting for the curtain to rise <br>While you`re under the sheets <br>You with the stars in your eyes <br>Letter box noise <br>Snapping the day into life <br>Newspaper boys <br>Cutting the mist like a knife <br>We`re beginning to rise <br>Curtain up the drama begins <br>It`s the start of the race <br>All of us wanting to win <br>People rushing shouting pushing <br>Got no time for conversation <br>Inner city population <br>The struggle for communication <br>People trying pressure rising <br>Hook and hustle flex your muscle <br>It`s all part of living <br>Do you wanna get away <br>Restaurant smells <br>Mix in the heat of the day <br>Telephone bells <br>Kissogram girls on her way <br>Someone`s thinking of you <br>Birthday boy is in for a treat <br>And the message is clear <br>Once a year life can be sweet <br>Caught in a flash <br>Cover girl freezes her smile <br>Media trash <br>Blinding the crowd with such style <br>It`s a dazzling affair <br>A fantasy to star in your dreams <br>Do you want to believe <br>Everyone knows what they`ve seen <br>Twilight time in the city <br>And the shutters are down <br>That`s when the singles are lost in their doubles <br>The happy hour comes round <br>To help you unwind in the shadows <br>Takes the tension away <br>It`s been a hell of a day in the city <br>Now it`s your time to play <br>Living under pressure <br>Do you wanna buy a dream? <br>I say Phil can you get it he say <br>Alright alright alright <br>Tell me when can I get it he say <br>Tonight tonight tonight <br>I want money on delivery hey <br>That`s right that`s right that`s right <br>I say baby don`t you trust me he say <br>The city`s a jungle where the strongest survive <br>Neonic heat <br>Flooding the darkness with light <br>The capitol beats <br>Feeding the pulse of the night <br>It`s the music of life <br>Listen to the sound of the crowd <br>Where the rhythm`s so strong <br>And the music is playing so loud <br>Where the rhythm`s so strong <br>And the music is playing so....
