wrote a letter
to get on paper
the thoughts that i know
i must tell
of humble means
from the hills
in the city 
i now dwell

city, city
city
don't let me down
city, city
city
don't let me down

worked some time
lost what was mine
but you know 
you can't win ‘em all
had a girl
she was my world
but in the end 
you stand by yourself

city, city
city
don't let me down
city, city
city
don't let me down

now it's cold
the lights are low
alone
all by myself
she's gone
no use in crying 
while the walls freeze
the halls tease
and no-one sees my last breath

city, city
city
don't let me down
city, city
city
don't let me down

wrote a letter
to get on paper
the thoughts that i know
i must tell
of humble means
from the hills
in the city 
i did dwell

city, city
city
you let me down
ba ba ba ba ba 
ba ba ba ba ba
