Frey, Glenn - You Belong To The City Lyrics






The sun goes down
The night rolls in
You can feel it starting
All over again

The moon comes up
And the music calls
You're getting tired of
Staring at the same four walls

You're out of your room
And down on the street
Moving through the crowd
In the midnight heat

The traffic roars
And the sirens scream
You look at the faces
It's just like a dream

Nobody knows where you're going
Nobody cares where you've been

'Cause you belong to the city
You belong to the night
Living in a river of darkness
Beneath the neon light

You were born in the city
Concrete under your feet
It's in your moves
It's in your blood
You're a man of the street

When you said goodbye
You were on the run
Trying to get away
From the things you've done

Now you're back again
And you're feeling strange
So much has happened
But nothing has changed

You still don't know where you're going
You're still just a face in the crowd

You belong to the city
You belong to the night
Living in a river of darkness
Beneath the neon light

You were born in the city
Concrete under your feet
It's in your blood
It's in your moves
You're a man of the street

You can feel it
You can taste it
You can see it
You can face it

You can hear it hey
You're getting near it hey
You wanna make it whoa
'Cause you can take it whoa

You belong to the city
You belong to the night
You belong to the city
You belong to the night

You belong
You belong
Oh...

Frey, Glenn You Belong To The City Comments
  1. o.... 3....

    Cruising Chester Ave. On Friday and Saturday nights. In the 80's in Bakersfield CA. The city... Or what we thought was the city. Drinking, smoking, partying all night long.

  2. J.... S....

    I remember when this song 1st came out...on MTV..

  3. D.... C....

    i fucking hated and loved the 80s.

  4. E.... R....

    Vine después de ver el capítulo de la casa de los dibujos que tiene esta canción de fondo.

  5. R.... G....

    This was the B-side to "Smuggler's Blues" and got more airplay in the early 1990s than in 1985.

  6. R.... G....

    Because 'You belong to the municipal tax collector" didn't have the same ring.

  7. e.... ....

    Lady Gaga stole this chorus for "Poker Face".

  8. J.... m....

    Wait, Smoking is cool? 👍

  9. V.... o....

    Am I the only one who came from the "Drawn Together Special"?

    The shitting table will never be forgotten

  10. k.... ....

    Making a pizza. 🍕

  11. R.... H....

    That lady's shuved to much Botox in her ass at the start of this video.

  12. S.... L....

    Miami Vice. Pure and Simple.

  13. E.... M....

    I miss the 80s things was more peaceful and relaxing and simple People was nicer back than

    E.... M....

    Reagan was the main source of conflict.  People were more civilized though.

  14. J.... G....

    This is my theme song. I’m from the big city of New Orleans, this town,these people,they will never know or understand

  15. J.... K....

  60. J.... E....

    Well my nerdy ass didn't get to know New York City's nightlife until I went to grad school in the late 1990s at The New School for Social Research. Like other students, I would pull an all nighter at the 24hr computer room trying to bang out a dissertation before the dawn deadline, or use the 24hr library at NYU to study for an exam. A friend and I would take study breaks at 2am or 3am on the streets of Unions Square or wander the West Village looking for an all night Greek diner or coffee shop, or maybe Kmart near Cooper Union was still open. We were living off of student loans we knew we could never pay back. There would be hell to pay less than a decade later, but for the time being we were living for the moment, feeling like we "belonged to the City!!!"

  61. J.... E....

    So this video uses the same footage as Saturday Night Live's opening credits.
