Standin' at the airport
Lookin' down the strip
She was dryin' her eyes,
She was bitin' her lip
747 just left from gate eleven,
And there's no turnin' round
'Cos it's just leavin' the ground
And getting' higher
Standin' at the dock-side
Lookin' out to sea,
When I saw her
But she did not see me
There she stood with no hope
Because she'd missed the boat,
And as her dreams sailed away,
She headed back for the day,
Back to the city.
Night in the city, oh, oh, oh,
Madness at midnight
Night in the city,
Drivin' you insane.
I was runnin' kinda lonely
At the city place
Waited for an hour
Never saw her face.
Crazy ladies that wait,
And slide around like a snake,
I just can't take anymore,
I'm going in through the door,
Into the city.
I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you
I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you
Driving you insane
