Living in the City - Hurray for the Riff Raff

One two three

Well I've got her cane

Oh and Big Danny is wasted

He said I'm the sweetest thing

For that he's never tasted

Mariposa's singing love songs

All in her dark apartment

Forteen floors a'birthin

And forteen floors a'dying

Livin' in the city

We're just livin' in the city

Livin' in the city

Livin' in the city

Well it's hard it's hard it's hard

I'll take you to the stairwell

And give you something I can offer

You know the heart is not the hopeless

The heart is a lonely hunter

Hot long Summer days

We're just sneakin' by the river

Well I'll lock my dreams away

I'll watch the city quiver

Livin' in the city

Livin' in the city

We're just livin' in the city

We're Livin' in the city

Livin' in the city

Well it's hard it's hard it's hard

Gypsy bit the dust

You know the shiity hat it was poisoned

You know now everybody wants

Just a taste of what we sold him

Standing on the roof tops

We're just yellin' till the morning

All surrounded by the visions

Of all who came before them

Livin' in the city

Livin' in the city

We're just livin' in the city

Oh livin' in the city

Oh livin' in the city

Well it's hard it's hard it's hard

Livin' in the city

Livin' in the city

We're just livin' in the city

Oh livin' in the city

Livin' in the city

Well it's hard it's hard it's hard

Oh it's hard it's hard it's hard
