What do you do when you need 'em When you need some help They're just not around
Doesn't anybody work here? I ain't got all day What a crazy town New York Life in the city can be so hard But after dark New energy finds me I light up the night and live like a star
*In the evening the real me comes alive I can feel it In the evening Something happens that I can't describe But it helps me to survive It's like magic Like something in the air You can feel it Close your eyes now And your heart will take you there Just let it take you there
Monday morning in the line at the bank Standing around trying to cash a check To pay for a one-room apartment with a beautiful view Of the eye in the back All day you got to fight To keep it for the rights Every day I work like a soldier Working to live, living for the night
