more and more it's a cameo
you phone it in, like we ought to know
you were beautiful, when you were young
in and out of conditioned air
there's nothing wrong, but there's nothing staring
back at you, when the morning comes
oh you live alone and you sleep around
you settle up never settle down
for anyone, like that's a plan
you try to blend with the younger scene
you change your hair and you change your drink
you're starting back, back where you began
just stay alive another day
another way to blow it all on the town
you pour it out and you watch it burn
you live it up ‘til it's way too late to live it down
oh you belong to the city now
all the things that you've got to do
you get ‘em done in shiny shoes
just to take a cab, around the block
there's a man to watch your door
there's girl to sweep your floor
everything, yeah that's all you've got
but you stay alive another day
another way to blow it all on the town
you pour it out and you watch it burn
you live it up ‘til it's way too late to live it down
oh you belong to the city now
you tried to escape, but she's just too strong
and you waited too long
you stay alive another day
oh another way to blow it all on the town
you pour it out just to watch it burn
you live it up ‘til it's way too late to live it down
oh you belong to the city now
