lyrics

Fancy Charlie’s dancing in rags
With expensive Italian shoes
A street singer starts to smile
While she sings the Blues
Preacher calls out “you gotta believe in something, or nothing’s true”

Cause there’s life in the city after all
I think I’ll stay a little longer
There’s life in the city after all

I walked out of the graveyard
Into the delta sun
Vampires singing harmony
To some French sailor’s song
They’ve been here for hundreds of years
So they must know something

Cause there’s life in the city after all
I think I’ll stay a little longer
There’s life in the city after all

I’ll see the school children laughing again
Painting the school bus
Yellow as the sun goes down
To the water and sparkles like my lover’s smile
Like my lover’s smile

There’s life in the city after all
I think I’ll stay a little longer
There’s life in the city after all
I think I’ll stay a little longer
