Life in the City Letra - The Lumineers

[Lyrics "Life in the City"] 

Woo-ooh-ooh, woo-ooh-ooh 

Woo-ooh-ooh, woo-ooh-ooh 

And if the city's skyscrapers rise over this island 

Would you be glad to see Manhattan for once? 

I knew the dream, it died, JMZ line, Myrtle, and Broadway 

But I'd be glad to see Manhattan for once 

Woah-woah, living life in the city 

Woah-woah, it will never be pretty 

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh 

Woah-woah, we can plan if we make it 

Woah-woah, we won't let 'em 

They won't take it from me, no, oh, oh, woah (Two, three, four) 

Woo-ooh-ooh, woo-ooh-ooh 

Woo-ooh-ooh, woo-ooh-ooh 

And if you leave, don't leave me all alone 

'Cause I'll be scared, I'll be naked, I'll get cold 

And I miss my dad and Cleopatra sitting on a phone 

So take me back off these streets and we'll never be apart 

Together from the start 

Never, never falling back alone 

Oh-oh, living life in the city 

Oh-oh, it will never be pretty 

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh 

Woah-woah, we can plan if we make it 

Woah-woah, we won't let 'em 

They won't take it from me, no, oh, oh, woah 

And if the sun don't shine on me today 

And if the subways flood and bridges break 

Will you just lay down and dig your grave? 

Or will you rail against your dying day? 

Da-da-da-da, da, da, da-ah-da 

Da-da-da-da-ah, da, da, da 

Da-da-da-da, da, da, da-ah-da 

Da-da-da-da-ah, da, da, da
