Look outside your window, see where ya been

Ya see morning shadows, coming on again

Make your sacrifice, if you play to win

Someone will pay the price

When you're living in the cradle of sin



I know I'll see you in the city

I see you walking on the streets

Raise your hands to the people that you meet

And you watch them walk away again



Can you see me, can you hear me

In the city of kings

Can you see me, can you hear me

In the city of kings



Bright lights, shining down, all over me

See a man laying on the ground

In such pain and misery



I see you walking in the city

I know I'll see you on the street

Raise your hands to the people that you meet

And you watch them walk away again



Can you see me, can you hear me

In the city of kings

Can you see me, can you hear me

In the city of kings



Sleep on the measly pillow

Sleep well my friend

Sip on your sarsaparilla

Take a trip back home again



I know I'll see you in the city

I see you walking on the streets

Raise your hands to the people that you meet

And you watch them walk away again



Can you see me, can you hear me

In the city of kings

Can you see me, can you hear me

In the city of kings
