Well, everybody's lookin'
Livin' in this town, it takes so much
Oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh
She flew into the city with a dream
Lost it all before she could see
Nothing here really makes
Livin' in this town, you lose so much
Oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh
Oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -o h
Oh, you can't survive in this town
If you choose to stick around
Don't you slip, don't you fall down
He got his fame, he made his gold
And for his youth, everything he sold
But that soon slipped away
Living in this town, you need so much
Oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh
Oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh
Oh, you can survive in this town
If you choose to stick around
But don't you slip, don't you fall down
Or it might, it just might, swallow you
I've learned to take what's mine
I got myself a better line
Living in this town, it takes so much
Oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh
Oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh
Oh, you can't survive in this town
If you choose to stick around
You can't survive in this town
If you choose to stick around
Don't you slip, don't you fall down
