Andrew Clarke - City Life lyrics

The lights of the city are beautiful in the night But what's happening in those shadows isn't right Hearts get broken Hearts get crushed White girl with a red face It's all from blush She needs to make paper She needs to make rent All of her last cents have been spent On this terrible addiction A pill popping prescription Her arms are itching She bumps the system Gets money from the gov Just wanting to feel love A new man in her bed every night She knows it isn't right 18 and ran away from home At night she lets her mind roam Around these streets looking for a f** An easy way for her to make a buck She's told about the needle so she tests her luck Pushes it through the skin the blood is struck Her head leans back her eyes just close Her soul leaves her body and as it rose She looked down at her life Looked down at the city Looked up in the sky feeling no pity The girl has been saved but not rewarded She never lost her faith she kept of all that hoarded So even when the times were dark her soul was light She hears a voice whisper "everything will be alright"
