The sound of the cities, lonely noises Smoke while they're breathing, gettin' closer The cold of the people, laying down And the town goes wild when the crowd goes around I saw you dreaming, roller coaster, the breeze Of the evening, fries and toasts You wanted the stars, but you love The feeling of the night drowning in city lights I sold my best I saw you at last Loving the town I sold my best I saw you at last Lost in the town The sound of the cities, talking noises Someone cracks a bottle, a bottle of roses At 5 a. M., someone plays that song About waking on a sunny day I saw you greeting little creatures, two birds And bees and some odd flying pictures You want the sky, so do I, what about buying the space And making that our yard? I sold my best I saw you at last Loving the town I sold my best I saw you at last Lost in the town And I swear you were dancing and dancing on the air With the sound of the cities
