In the city Where I'm from There are lovers 'til the dawn And you stayed up to see the sun I couldn't wait that long Who's gonna get up after we're gone? Who's gonna get up after we fall? Who's gonna pick up what we've done wrong? Who's gonna get up after we're gone? In the city Where I'm from Lions in cages just for fun But you will pace around your cage And wait for night to come In the city Where I'm from They shoot you down If you're wrong But we don't stop to check the time 'Cos time keeps moving on and on and on Who's gonna get up after we're gone? Who's gonna get up after we fall? Who's gonna pick up what we've done wrong? Who's gonna get up after we're gone? I've seen you in another place Eyes beckon a familiar face The city joins us with hands of grace Hands free there are no constraints Just ignore all that you see The illusion of you and me Illusions come illusions go And if you leave you'll never grow old In the city Where I'm from There are lovers 'til the dawn And you stayed up to see the sun I couldn't wait that long Who's gonna get up after we're gone? Who's gonna get up after we fall? Who's gonna pick up what we've done wrong? Who's gonna get up after we're gone? The city joins us with hands of grace Hands free there are no constraints Illusions come illusions go And if I leave you'll never grow old
