Well it's a close one, a real close one
And no one got hurt but she got twice the fun
And now they kiss in the rain
And did someone call out someone's name
From a white Cadillac on a white wind
To a white dress
Across the great divide
Into the warming light
And she's been reading Bukowski for days
Leans over,spits her name in my face
And says "now you know how it feels"
Well know you know how it feels
And I was looking for you
In the city Last night
The boys in the band steal a kiss from the mystery
of the night
11:59 to 00:00
Little blonde hair and jeans holds it tight
Turns on the heat and starts to fight
Saying that's my man
But the myth of love must have been there
The spirit of possession was there
And the boys are at the bar
- they're mixing up their medicines
The girls are on their mobiles trying to get reception
Johnny's shadow's getting long, but he keeps on singing
His shadow's getting long but he keeps on singing
But I was looking for you
In the city last night
And people so strange
People so strange
People just talking in the city at night
Now take off your shades and scrawl down the number
You're living on the guest list, up against the meat rack
Head back, hands outs
(It's getting loud in here
I think you're going to have to shout)
She's tearing off her clothes
He's mixing all his drinks
The streets divide them
And it's an empire of signs
That Honey says she can read
And it looks like trouble
And it tastes like chocolate if you want it
Still I was looking for you
In the city last night
People so strange
People so strange
People get so ugly in the city at night
I was looking for you
In the city last night
