We run this city once the lights go out
Wild and free, roaming the streets,
here on the streets, down, down
Midnight kids is what we were,
How we got away with being
We were so naive to think
Two big stacks of broken glass,
And when the punches landed,
they caught me red -handed
and desperate for a friend
We run this city when sunlights go by
Wild and free, roaming the streets,
here on the streets, downtown
I was always trying to be
Never thought that ticking clock
would have been turned to zero
I can ride that rebel train
My heart black as midnight
I tried to rule the world
Tell me, was it worth it?
If I could only bend the time
and tell that kid who's singing
We run this city once the lights go out
Wild and free, pulling the streets down
here on the streets, downtown
Wild and free, home in the streets,
Chasing our dreams, trying to leave,
