Mark Veldhoven - The City

It's Friday night
And I'm downtown on a patio
Eating nachos and
Watching the game at a pub
It's my first night in the city
And there's a lineup across the street
To see the band playing in the club

The heat is in the air
There's action everywhere
Just out to have some fun
In the city

Towers in the sky
Strangers pass you by
It's only just begun
In the city
Oooh, oooh

Jack hammers are pounding
A girl start's yelling at a courier
As sirens fade away
There's this guy in a suit
Smiling at the corner
Who made millions just today

(You might have to)
Fight to survive
Because the rhythm's so alive
Persist and you might thrive
In the city

Towers in the sky
Strangers pass you by
You start a brand new life
In the city
Oooh, oooh

Working and playing
As hard as you can
Can only help you succeed
Rising to the challenge
To carve your path
With conviction 
Is what you need

You'll find out
When you get there
The odds may not be fair
So go, but beware
Of the city

Towers in the sky
A stranger passes by
Now you live another life
In the city
Oooh

Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
Can you feel it
Oooh
Oooh, oo-oo-ooh
Oooh
In the city
