One Night In The City

Johnny was a dark child He was promised to us all But rides in the night can lift you out of sight When they call Sally was a princess She was chosen for the crown But chains can't stop the sound Of one night in the city One night looking pretty The someone opened doorways And Johnny slipped away Running for the bright where dark is always light But there's no day no way The princess saw the dark child And the dark child said her name Come steal away we'll play the game Do you watch do you see do you know the people in me I'm the bite I'm the bark I'm the scream I'm the poor I'm the sure I'm the holy I'm the pure I can tell you tales you just might not believe One night in the city One night looking pretty One night in the city One night looking pretty one night one night one night one night one night one night The children shared the wonder Of the leather and the lace But one child went away and one child stayed to play For one night in the city One night looking pretty One night in the city One night looking pretty But chains don't make a wall and dreams lay where they fall Dark is never night when dreams make up the light one night in the city One night feeling pretty yeah one night in the city feeling pretty pretty pretty Pretty pretty in the city one night in the city yeah one night one night one night one night One night in the city one night one night oh one child went away And one child stayed to play chains don't make a wall Your dreams are made up where they fall
