While The City Sleeps

What goes on behind closed doors
Private wounds, open sores
You're your own worst enemy
And cheap thrills bring you to your knees
It's thumbs down for someone you know
And it's easy come and easy go

Burn your bridges
Take what you can get
Go for the throat
'Cause you paid your debt
Livin' well is the best revenge
So give 'em hell
While the city sleeps
It's all there in black and white
While the city sleeps
Through the eye of the needle
Gotta thread your life
While the city sleeps
While the city sleeps
It's a hit or miss
An eye for an eye
Live for today
And don't ask why
For better or worse
You bought and sold
They love you while you're hot
And leave you when you're cold
Burn your bridges
Take what you can get
Go for the throat
'Cause you paid your debt
Livin' well is the best revenge
So give 'em hell
While the city sleeps
Yeah, better run for your life
Take your troubles to the night
While the city sleeps
Yeah, beggars, thieves and losers
There's no relief
While the city sleeps
There's no relief
While the city sleeps
While the city sleeps
Yeah
Burn your bridges
Take what you can get
Go for the throat
'Cause you paid your debt
Livin' well is the best revenge
So give 'em hell
While the city sleeps...
