Springsteen, Bruce - City Of Night Lyrics






Taxi Cab, Taxi Cab, at the light
Won't you take me on a ride through this city of night
I got some money and I'm feeling fine
I ain't in no hurry so just take your time
Some people wanna die young and gloriously
But Taxi Cab driver, well that ain't me
I got a cute little baby down at 12th and Vine
And she opens for business just about closing time
Ah hey hey, ah hey hey
City of night, city of night

And I don't believe what I see in this street
I don't know how people they can take the heat
Well baby I'm a liar, I'm a cheat, and I don't care
I got my money, I can take my fare
Ah hey hey, ah hey hey
City of night, city of night

I'm riding tonight to see my sugar girl
You know she wears that dress without a care in the world
Yeah she got come loving that's as bright as the sun
And she brings it with her man when she comes
Hey, hey, city of night
Ah-hey, ah-hey, city of night
Ride on

    second part? rivers of cum, amazing sax

  3. G.... P....

    The second half is a totally different song called The Way

  4. M.... A....

    Almost a throwaway song but with such atmosphere...the magical piano, the organ comes in, and that soulful sax finishes...could go on and on

  5. w.... ....

    The second part starting at 3:22 gives me goosebumps. Beautiful

    It’s a hidden bonus song: The Way, a longtime bootleg favorite.
    Also, the ramp-up in sound at the start of City Of Night is a tip of the cap to a source tape for the bootleg that circulated on cassettes in the early ‘80s. :)
