Night In The City Lyrics - Electric Light Orchestra

Standin' at the airport lookin' down the strip 

She was cryin' her eyes, she was bitin' her lip 

Seven-four-seven just left from gate eleven 

And there's no turnin' round 'cos it's just leavin' the ground 

And gettin' higher, higher 

Standin' at the dock-side lookin' out to sea 

When I saw her but she did not see me 

There she stood with no hope because she'd missed the boat 

And as her dreams sailed away she headed back for the day 

Back to the city, city 

Night in the city, oh 

Madness at mid, mid, mid, midnight 

Night in the city drivin' you insane 

In the city, city 

Night in the city, oh 

Madness at mid, mid, mid, midnight 

Night in the city drivin' you insane 

I was runnin' kinda lonely at the city place 

I waited for an hour, I never saw her face 

Crazy ladies that wait and slide around like a snake 

I just can't take anymore, I'm going in through the door 

Into the city, city 

I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you 

I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you 

I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you 

I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you 

I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you 

I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you 

Drivin' you insane 

Night in the city, oh 

Madness at mid, mid, mid, midnight 

Night in the city drivin' you insane 

Drivin' you insane, drivin' you insane
