this city never sleeps
this city never cries
secret's that it keeps
beyond smoggy skies
car alarms
gun shots
people screaming
parking lots
this city doesn't feel
this city's not afraid
these scars never heal
these sounds never fade
jackhammer
news stand
police sirens
news van
this city never sleeps
this city never cries
you can hear it on streets
you can see it in their eyes

this city never sleeps
this city never cries
secret's that it keeps
beyond smoggy skies
car alarms
gun shots
people screaming
parking lots
this city doesn't feel
this city's not afraid
these scars never heal
these sounds never fade
jackhammer
news stand
police sirens
news van
this city never sleeps
this city never cries
you can hear it on streets
you can see it in their eyes
