City lights
the sights and sounds
where the nightlife abounds
a thousand people screaming
"just one more round!"
the drunks, the punks
the pushers and their drugs
the crooks and the thugs
all part of the nightlife
they all creep out after twilight.
all of this when the city sleeps
with the crime and the grime
it's enough to make you weep as
you wade through it knee deep.
but like a promise morning
always comes, the sun shines
flowers bloom and children play
because in the city it's just
another day.
