Jeff Lynne - Night in the City lyrics

[Verse 1: Jeff Lynne] Standin' at the airport looking down the strip She was crying her eyes, she was biting her lip Seven-four-seven just left from gate eleven And there's no turning round 'cause it's just leaving the ground And gettin' higher (higher) [Verse 2: Jeff Lynne] Standing at the dock-side looking 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 [Chorus] Night in the city, o-o-oh Madness at mi-hi-hi-d-night Night in the city driving you insane [Ad lib] (in the city) Ooooh-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la In the city, CITY [Chorus] Night in the city, o-o-oh Madness at mi-hi-hi-d-night Night in the city drivin' you insane [Bridge] I was running 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 [Ad lib] 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 Driving you insane [Chorus] Night in the city, o-o-oh Madness at mi-hi-hi-d-night Night in the city Driving you insane Driving you insane Driving you insane
