When the daylight is falling down into the night And the sharks try to cut a big piece out of life It feels alright to go out to catch an outrageous thrill But it's more like spinning wheels of fortune Which never stand still Big city, big city nights You keep me burning Big city, big city nights When the sunlight is rising up in my eyes And the long night has left me back at somebody's side It feels alright for a long sweet minute like hours before But it's more like looking out for something I can't find anymore Big city, big city nights You keep me burning Big city, big city nights Always yearning There is no dream That you can't make true, if you're looking for love But there's no girl Who's burning the ice away from my heart Maybe tonight! Big city, big city nights You keep me burning Big city, big city nights Always yearning Big city, big city nights You keep me burning Big city, big city nights Always yearning
