Written by Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell, ©1979 Found on Silent Letter. Now I'm high in the city Feel the evening air The crowds in the city Compete for a share It's all so busy, a complete affair Down here... As I walk through marble Finding my way out to daylight One drinking orange vodka Someone inside here Will give us a ride dear I know a place where we both can go To set our hearts on fire I know the city's the only show Can I take you for a ride I can make you satisfied All 'n all it's worth your while Change that frown back to a smile Tonight Do or die in the misty city All night long A nightclub in the middle Tappin' time to my song Catch hell for leavin' They are always wrong Down here... As I walk through marble Finding my way in the night-light Two people sit and argue Someone inside here Will give them a ride clear I know a place where we both can go To set our hearts on fire I know the city's the only show Can I take you for a ride I can make you satisfied All 'n all it's worth your while Change that frown back to a smile Tonight
