She's alright, she's alright Now why don't you leave it alone? Tired of working overtime Seeing someone on the side Tired of losing out in a tide of a-coming and going No she's never gonna meet him at the overpass again
This is the life It's just passing by You gotta try harder, try harder You better never let it go You gotta try harder, try harder You better never let it go That's the life, that's the life that we lead in the city That's the life, that's the life that we lead in the city
She's a shadow in the underground Echoing the inner city blues Hurrying home to go lock herself up again Yeah the people are so scary some times They look you straight in the eye They are all grey and ugly as they go passing in the rain
This is the life Man, ... in any way to net a free ride Try harder, try harder You better never let it go You gotta try harder, try harder Never ever ever let it go That's the life, that's the life that we lead in the city That's the life, that's the life that we lead in the city
