The sound of the mortars The music of death Fresh from Moscow Over Volga came to comrades aid City in despair Almost crushed by the Führer's army Oh, it's colder than Hell Hitler's forces advancing A grand symphony

Waiting in a car Waiting for the right time Waiting for a ride in the dark The night city grows Look at the horizon glow Drinking in the lights Following the neon signs Waiting for a word Looking at the milky skyline

Turn up your night I will find you Make them dance Just like you 'Cause you make me move Yeah you always make go I'll run away with your foot steps I'll build a city that dreams for two And if you lose yourself

Tomorrow never came In the Tropic of Cancer 'Cause if I had my way You'd would always stay I waited for you In the spot you said to wait In the city, on a park bench In the middle of the pouring rain 'Cause I adored you

Does it almost feel like Nothing changed at all But if you close your eyes Nothing changed at all? And if you close your eyes You've been here before? And the walls kept tumbling down In the city that we love Grey clouds roll over the hills

Turn up your night I will find you Make them dance Just like you 'Cause you make me move Yeah you always make go I'll run away with your foot steps I'll build a city that dreams for two And if you lose yourself

No time for wasting away I never bite off more than I could chew We're breaking up the city But then she came and bit me But then she bit my leg She said don't want to work I want to play and live my life like it was Sunday The only problem is that

Turn up your night I will find you Make them dance Just like you 'Cause you make me move Yeah you always make me go I'll run away with your foot steps I'll build a city that dreams for two And if you lose yourself

But I’ll be buried in Detroit Buried in Detroit Next to my father, and my father’s father too I used to live in New York City But, baby, that ain’t no substitute Not for my hometown That place people avoid I’ve made love in every city Whoa ho, whoa ho

They know that it's almost over They know that it's almost In time, I will leave the city For now, I will stay alive Of tending to this fire I've used up all I've collected I have singed my hands
