The midnight's down and the sun's all gone in the city
In the city
The sirens are hummin', everything's so gritty
It's a pity, it's a pity

City Blues
All alone and comin' 'round your windowpane
Gets me to leave then I'll catch the train and get out, yes I will
City Blues
Nothing ever seems to come to no good, no

The sky is gray, everybody's gotta pay in the city
In the city
The strange loud people made a mess of the world, it wasn't pretty
It's a pity

City Blues
All alone and comin' 'round your windowpane
Gets me to leave then I'll catch the train and get out, yes I will
City Blues
Nothing ever seems to come to no good, no

City Blues
All alone and comin' 'round your windowpane
Gets me to leave then I'll catch the train and get out, yes I will
City Blues
Nothing ever seems to come to no good, no
