There's no need to run, no need to hide
something quite unreal running at my side
anywhere I go, I'll never face the sun
headed for this daily war, no one has begun
City lights have come to trick my mind
the howling of the streets never felt unkind
for places I can be, only in disguise
I could never visit once, hardly ever twice
chorus:
Being a city boy, gets me where I am
never ever losing guard, this I understand
all that will lie in wait, makes me realize
willing to sacrifice, but city boys don't die
