Summer Night City
Abbacadabra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Summer night city
Summer night city

Waiting for the sunrise soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight love making in the park
Summer night city
In the sun I feel like sleeping
I can't take it for too long
My impatience slowly creeping
Up my spine and going strong
I know what's waiting there for me
Tonight I'm loose and fancy free
Ah-ahhh

When the night comes with the action
I just know it's time to go
Can't resist the strange attraction
From this giant dynamo
Lots to give and lots to take
Time to breathe and time to live

Waiting for the sunrise soul dancing in the dark
Summer Night City
Walking in the moonlight love making in the park
Summer night city

It's elusive call it glitter
Somehow something turns me on
Some folks only see the litter
We don't miss them when they're gone
I love the feeling in the air
My kind of people everywhere
Ah-ahh

When the night comes with the action
I just know it's time to go
Can't resist it the strange attraction
From this giant dynamo
And tomorrow when it's dawning
And the first birds starts to sing
In the pale light of the morning
Nothing's worth remembering
It's a dream it's out of reach
Scattered driftwood on the beach

Waiting for the sunrise soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moon light love making in the park
Summer night city





Waiting for the sunrise...
[Repeat to fade]
