[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
This city never sleeps
~#**************#~
I hear the people walk by when its late
~#**************#~
Sirens bleed through my windowsill
~#**************#~
I cant close my eyes
~#**************#~
Dont control what Im into
~#**************#~
And this tower is alive
~#**************#~
The lights that blind keep me awake
~#**************#~
Hood up and lace untied
~#**************#~
Sleep fills my mind
~#**************#~
Cant control what Im into
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
London calls me a stranger, a traveller
~#**************#~
This is now my home, my home (Woo)
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Im burning on the back street
~#**************#~
Stuck here sitting in the backseat
~#**************#~
Im blazing on the street
~#**************#~
What I do isnt up to you
~#**************#~
If the city never sleeps, then that makes two
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
The pavement is my friend
~#**************#~
It will take me where I need to go
~#**************#~
I find it trips me up
~#**************#~
And puts me down
~#**************#~
This is not what Im used to
~#**************#~
And the shop across the road
~#**************#~
Fills my needs and gives me company when I need it
~#**************#~
Voices speak through my walls
~#**************#~
I dont think Im gonna make it
~#**************#~
Past tomorrow
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
London calls me a stranger, a traveller
~#**************#~
This is now my home, my home (Woo)
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Im burning on the back street
~#**************#~
Stuck here sitting in the backseat
~#**************#~
Im blazing on the street
~#**************#~
What I do isnt up to you
~#**************#~
If the city never sleeps, then that makes two
~#**************#~
[Bridge]
~#**************#~
And my lungs hurt and my ears bled
~#**************#~
With the sound of the city life echoed in my head
~#**************#~
Do I need this to keep me alive?
~#**************#~
The traffic stops and starts, but I need to move along
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
London calls me a stranger
~#**************#~
This is not my home, home
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Im burning on the back street
~#**************#~
Stuck here sitting in the backseat
~#**************#~
Im blazing on the street
~#**************#~
What I do isnt up to you
~#**************#~
If the city never sleeps, then that makes two
