Life In The City

Life In The City - The Lumineers

Lyrics by：Wesley Schultz/Jeremiah Fraites

Composed by：Wesley Schultz/Jeremiah Fraites

Whooooa-whooooa

Whooooa-whooooa

And if the city's skyscrapers rise over this island

Would you be glad to see Manhattan for once

I knew the dream it died

JMZ line Myrtle and Broadway

But I'd be glad to see Manhattan for once

Whoa-whoa living life in the city

Whoa-whoa it will never be pretty

Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh

Whoa-whoa we can plan if we make it

Whoa-whoa we won't let 'em

They won't take it from me

No-oh-oh whoa

Whooooa-whooooa

Whooooa-whooooa

And if you leave don't leave me all alone

'Cause I'll be scared I'll be naked I'll be cold

And I miss my dad Cleopatra sitting on the phone

So take me back off these streets

And we'll never be apart

Together from the start

Never never falling back alone

Oh-whoa living life in the city

Oh-whoa it will never be pretty

Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh

Oh-whoa we can plan if we make it

Oh-whoa we won't let 'em

They won't take it from me

No-oh-oh whoa

And if the sun don't shine on me today

And if the subways flood and bridges break

Will you just lay down and dig your grave

Or will you rail against the dying day

Raaaa raaaa raaa raaaa raraaaaaa raraa
