In the nitty gritty of the city where details bog you down and you frown at the rats,wonder where are the cats and you need to get out of this town.

There's a light in the dark somewhere where the cars park but it's just some young lovers who are out for a lark and then there's no light at all as you fall into a sleep,some place above in your dreams angels weep,
you toss and you turn,wonder how you can earn just a crust,
life's a binge and a bust and we all end as dust,
swept up in the city
with the nitty and gritty and ain't it a pity
that nobody sees.
