Oh, the city`s alight with lovers and lies
And bright blue eyes.
Oh, the city is bright, it`s brighter than day tonight.
(Surrender, surrender)
(Surrender, surrender)

Sadie said she couldn`t work out what it was all about
And so she let go.
Now Sadie`s on the street and the people she meets you know.

She tried to be a good girl and a good wife
Raise a good family
Lead a good life
It`s not good enough
She got herself up on the 48th floor
Gotta find out
Find out what she`s living for.

Oh, the city`s afire
A passionate flame that knows me by name.
Oh, the city`s desire to take me for more and more.
It`s in the street gettin` under my feet
It`s in the air, it`s everywhere I look for you.
It`s in the things that I do and say
And it I wanna live I gotta die to myself someday.
