Under the streetlight
I can see that you have nothing to hide
It's well after midnight
And this my love is when we come alive
We are the creatures of the night
It's nice to finally have some company
I find no comfort in the daylight
And my city she shines
She shines after midnight
And my city she's mine
She's mine after midnight
See I'm no good at nine to five
I never seem to get it right
And lord knows I've tried
Every day sit on a crowded train
It smells like sweat and misery
Every face looks just the same
Thinking where would I rather be
Every face looks just the same
But not me
And my city she shines
She shines after midnight
And my city she's mine
She's mine after midnight
I know the city she needs
The people on the trains
Going to their banks and their institutions
The city she breathes through the day
She feeds on the paper chase
But when they're all gone
Sleeping in their beds and
Getting ready for another day
The city she wakes me
And comes out to play
And my city she shines
She shines after midnight
And my city she's mine
She's mine after midnight
You and I are kindred souls
And she watches over us
Cause she never wants to let us go
I found you here under the streelight
I never would have believed in love
Not for somebody like me
I found you here under the streetlight
I never would have believed in love
But the city she brought you to me
After midnight
