Living In The City Lyrics - Hurray For The Riff Raff

Well I've got her cane, 

Oh and Big Danny is wasted - 

He said I'm the sweetest thing. 

You know that he's never tasted. 

Mariposa's singing love songs, 

All in her dark apartment. 

Forteen floors a'birthin, 

and forteen floors a'dying. 

Livin' in the City 

We're just livin' in the City. 

Livin' in the City 

Well it's hard, it's hard, it's hard. 

I'll take you to the stairwell, 

And give you something I can offer. 

You know the heart is not the hopeless, 

The heart is a lonely hunter. 

Hot long summer days... 

We're just sneakin' by the river. 

Well, I'll lock my dreams away. 

I'll watch the city quiver. 

Livin' in the City 

We're just livin' in the City. 

We're Livin' in the City 

Well it's hard, it's hard, it's hard. 

Gypsy bit the dust, 

You know the shiity hat - it was poisoned 

You know now everybody wants 

Just a taste of what we sold him. 

Standing on the roof tops, 

We're just yellin' till the morning. 

All surrounded by the visions 

Of all who came before them. 

Livin' in the City 

We're just livin' in the City. 

Oh, Livin' in the City 

Well it's hard, it's hard, it's hard. 

Livin' in the City 

We're just livin' in the City. 

Oh, Livin' in the City 

Well it's hard, it's hard, it's hard. 

Oh, it's hard, it's hard, it's hard.
