On a cold and misty morning
A bus pulled into town
And a hungry little runaway
Takes her first look around
She came here with no money
Just a pocket full of dreams
And in her heart she wondered
Were it all what it seemed
Living in the city
Living in the city
This guy has no pity
Living in the city
She had visions of a good life
Like she saw on TV
And pretty soon she took it
Or is it that she should never have been
Trouble around every corner
Sorrow in the street
And all roads will lead to nowhere
She sees that it ain't so sweet
She's not the first
And she won't be the last
So many dreams are dying
Here in the past
Now no one can find her
She's another nameless face
Just another loser in this
Bloody human race
So if you're looking
For the bright lights
With everyone you ever cursed
Do you remind look like heaven
But it's hell, you could be lost
Living in the city
Living in the city
Sometimes it ain't pretty
Living in the city
