Lyrics
Well I woke up to the sound of screaming sirens
Screaming, the world's on fire
And the neighbor's baby's crying 'cause their out of formula
So I had under the blankets for five minutes more
Then I'm out the door
I'm living in the city
Where every day's a new day
I chose this life for me
But it's cold and lonely
I'm living in the city
Where everyday gets harder
I chose this life for me
And it's where I wanna be
I'm living in the city
I'm living in the city
I'm living in the city
Well I met him on the J-train from Brooklyn
He had shades on, but I could see right through him
He was a man with a plan and he made it happen (yeah)
So we hide under the blankets for five minutes more
Then he was out the door
I'm living in the city
Where every day's a new day
I chose this life for me
But it's cold and lonely
I'm living in the city
Where everyday gets harder
I chose this life for me
And it's where I wanna be
Street sweepers playing city symphonies
Skyscrapers like mountains at my feet
All around me
All around me
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
I'm living in the city
Chose this life for me
Living in the city
Chose this life for me
And it's where I wanna be
I'm living in the city
I'm living in the city
I'm living in the city (Yeah I)
Well you know I mastered the art of procrastination
I brush my hair while I change the radio station
I put my car in drive with my stilettoes through the pedal
You know it hurts my feet
The nine to five keeps me alive, so I can't miss a beat
No I can't miss a beat
I'm living in the city
Where every day's a new day
I chose this life for me
But it's cold and lonely
I'm living in the city
Where everyday gets harder
I chose this life for me
And it's exactly where I wanna be
I'm living in the city
I'm living in the city
Ooh, I'm living in the city
I'm living in the city
I'm living in the city
