Feeling the cool of the dawn
 Shuffling feet
 Faces are ragged and worn
 They've been working all night
 Waiting for the curtain to rise
 While you're under the sheets
 You with the stars in your eyes
 Letter box noise
 Snapping the day into life
 Newspaper boys
 Cutting the mist like a knife
 We're beginning to rise
 Curtain up the drama begins
 It's the start of the race
 All of us wanting to win
 People rushing shouting pushing
 Got no time for conversation
 Inner city population
 The struggle for communication
 People trying pressure rising
 Hook and hustle flex your muscle
 It's all part of living
 Do you wanna get away
 Restaurant smells
 Mix in the heat of the day
 Telephone bells
 Kissogram girls on her way
 Someone's thinking of you
 Birthday boy is in for a treat
 And the message is clear
 Once a year life can be sweet
 Caught in a flash
 Cover girl freezes her smile
 Media trash
 Blinding the crowd with such style
 It's a dazzling affair
 A fantasy to star in your dreams
 Do you want to believe
 Everyone knows what they've seen
 Twilight time in the city
 And the shutters are down
 That's when the singles are lost in their doubles
 The happy hour comes round
 To help you unwind in the shadows
 Takes the tension away
 It's been a hell of a day in the city
 Now it's your time to play
 Living under pressure
 Do you wanna buy a dream?
 I say Phil can you get it he say
 Alright alright alright
 Tell me when can I get it he say
 Tonight tonight tonight
 I want money on delivery hey
 That's right that's right that's right
 I say baby don't you trust me he say
 The city's a jungle where the strongest survive
 Neonic heat
 Flooding the darkness with light
 The capitol beats
 Feeding the pulse of the night
 It's the music of life
 Listen to the sound of the crowd
 Where the rhythm's so strong
 And the music is playing so loud
 Where the rhythm's so strong
 And the music is playing so
