Standin at the airport lookin down the strip,
She was cryin her eyes, she was bitin her lip
Seven-four-seven just left from gate eleven
And there's no turnin round cos it's just leavin the ground
break
And gettin higher (higher)
Standin at the dock-side lookin out to sea
When I saw her but she did not see me
There she stood with no hope because she'd missed the boat
And as her dreams sailed away she headed back for the day,
break
Back to the city (city)
Night in the city, o-o-oh,
Madness at mid-mid-mid-midnight,
Night in the city drivin you insane

In the city (city)
Night in the city, o-o-oh,
Madness at mid-mid-mid-midnight,
Night in the city drivin you insane
I was runnin kinda lonely at the city place
I waited for an hour, I never saw her face
Crazy ladies that wait and slide around like a snake
I just can't take anymore, Im going in through the door
break
Into the city (city)
I??ll get you, yes, I??m gonna get you,
I??ll get you, yes, Im gonna get you,
I??ll get you, yes, I??m gonna get you,
I??ll get you, yes, Im gonna get you,
I??ll get you, yes, I??m gonna get you,
I??ll get you, yes, Im gonna get you,
Drivin you insane

Night in the city, o-o-oh,
Madness at mid-mid-mid-midnight,
Night in the city drivin you insane
Drivin you insane
Drivin you insane
