Comments: This is my favourite song on this album. The main riff kicks ass,
the solo is cool, and I think that Gene, although strained at times, does
a good job on the vocal.

NAKED CITY
Gene Simmons/Robert Kulick/Pepe Castro/Vini Poncia
Rhy. ig 1 w/ Rhy. ig 4
Rhy. ig 2 w/ Rhy. ig 4
Rhy. ig 5 w/ nd 1
All the victims have turned to stone, no one is happy, they're all alone
I'd sacrifice my social position tonight
Rhy. ig 5 w/ nd 2
In New York, millionaires, and lonely people with lonely stares
I'm not lookin' for love and I'm lost in this night
Rhy. ig 1 w/ Rhy. ig 4
In the naked city (in the city) there are ten million stories (naked city)
Rhy. ig 2 w/ Rhy. ig 4
I'm not lookin' for pity (in the city) in this naked city (naked city)
Rhy. ig 5 w/ nd 1
Street vampires in the night, young lovers and love at first sight
This is my flesh and my fantasy
Rhy. ig 5 w/ nd 2
Older women with younger men, I've got a feelin' I'm in trouble again
But I've got to live my destiny
Rhy. ig 1 w/ Rhy. ig 4
In the naked city (in the city) it's a race with the devil (naked city)
All the pain and the sorrow (in the city) is there more tomorrow (naked city)
Rhy. ig 3 w/ Rhy. ig 4
In the naked, naked city (in the city) naked city
Solo over Rhy. ig 6 w/ Rhy. ig 7
Rhy. ig 8
Lonely people lookin' for someone, lonely people goin' their way
Lonely people lookin' for something, lonely people goin' their way
Rhy. ig 5 w/ nd 2 and Rhy. ig 9
In New York, millionaires, lonely people with lonely stares
I'm not lookin' for love and I'm lost in this night
Rhy. ig 2 w/ Rhy. ig 4
In the naked city, there are ten million stories
I'm not lookin' for pity in this naked city
In the naked, naked city (in the city), it's a race with the devil (naked city)
All the pain and the sorrow (in the city) is there more tomorrow (naked city)
Rhy. ig 2 w/ Rhy. ig 4 and Outro solo
(In the city, naked city)
(repeat and fade)
