[Verse 1]
I used to hear really clear
The distortion that would rally my ear
Bring me 'round to this concrete town
Called and pulled like a magnet, no fear
And at night, I held tight to the dark
City noose 'round my neck but I knew I'd never break
I love to bay at the moon while all the other dogs barked

[Chorus]
I like the rainy bloody feel
Of the city romancin' me
Never quite get my fill, yeah
The city always took its chance with me

[Verse 2]
All of the sudden, I'd been caught
'Cause the underbelly in my soul had seemed bought
Closer I step to the edge of the ledge
Where inferno meets ice, my god, ow, it went to my head
If I ventured any further to the end of the board
I like the thrill of the kill, the shudder click
I'd be a bull seein' red
Don't not a one of you forget what I said

[Chorus]
I want s' more rainy bloody chill
I need the city romancin' me
I never seem to stand still
My destined will, can you hear me?
Yeah, alright
[Bridge]
I feel the thunder
Don't forget what I said
Smokestack lightning is my bed

[Chorus]
Once more the rainy bloody chill in the air
I need the city romance, can't stand still there
Ooooww yeah
Huh, alright, get it, shit, c'mon, that's it
That's what I said, now listen

[Verse 3]
The sidewalks have engraved in them my name
But on this Broadway, no flash, no fame
And whether it's wrong or it's right
I hear my partner in the wind howl, no bark, just bite
I guess I'm stuck being a gambler
For the rest of me, it's my destiny
And people might think I walk this fine line for spite
So when you lay resting, look real close at tonight at your life

[Outro]
For the glowing rope outside
Your window, yeah baby
It might be time for your ride
I need the concrete deep inside, yeah
Alright
Huh
