The Only One

I'm tired, I'm waiting
the neon pulsating
can anybody hear me?
'cause this life is draining

it's living and breathing
cold concrete is seething
built on blood, sweat, and bone
this place is defeating

fast cars, the bright lights pound
so many faces in the crowd
stone towers scrape the sky
where concrete rules dreams will die

show me this is my home
come on, pick me up, let's go
'cause only you can start me now
you're the one, the only one
come on, take me down

these buildings are sprawling
on dark roads we're crawling
the sights and sounds so thrilling
this city is killing...
