Sadie said she couldn't work out
What it was all about
And so she let go.
Now Sadie's on the street
And the people she meets you know

She tried to be a good girl and a good wife
Raise a good family
Lead a good life
It's not good enough
She got herself up on the 48th floor
Gotta find out
Find out what she's living for

Chorus

Oh, the city's afire
A passionate flame that knows me by name
Oh, the city's desire to take me for more and more
It's in the street gettin' under my feet
It's in the air, it's everywhere I look for you
It's in the things that I do and say
And if I wanna live I gotta die to myself someday

D#
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
D#
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
D#
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
D#
Sing my, sing my, sing my song
D#
Sing my, sing my, sing my song
D#
Sing my, sing my, sing my song
D#
Sing my, sing my, sing my song
D#
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
D#
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
