WHILE THE CITY SLEEPS Simmons/Weissman [Rhy. Fig 1] (3x) [Rhy. Fig 2] (3x) What goes on behind closed doors Private wounds, open sores You¥re your own worst enemy And cheap thrills bring you to your knees It¥s thumbs down for someone like you Easy come, easy go [Rhy. Fig 3] Burn your bridges, take what you can get Go for the throat because you paid your debt Livin¥ well is the best revenge So give ¥em hell [Rhy. Fig 1] (2x) While the city sleeps Better run for your life Take your troubles to the night While the city sleeps Beggars, thieves and losers There¥s no relief [Rhy. Fig 2] For better or for worse you¥ve bought and sold They love you while you¥re hot And leave you when you¥re cold [Rhy. Fig 3] It¥s hit or miss, an eye for an eye Live for today, and don¥t ask why [Rhy. Fig 1] (2x) While the city sleeps It¥s all there in black and white While the city sleeps Through the eye of the needle Gotta thread your life [Rhy. Fig 4] [Rhy. Fig 2] (4x) [Rhy. Fig 3] Burn your bridges, take what you can get Go for the throat because you paid your debt Livin¥ well is the best revenge So give ¥em hell [Rhy. Fig 1] (2x) While the city sleeps Better run for your life Take your troubles to the night While the city sleeps Beggars, thieves and losers There¥s no relief [Rhy. Fig 4]
