You Belong To The City
Glenn Frey Lyrics

The sun goes down
The day is ending

The night rolls in
The darkness of the night is approaching

You can feel it starting all over again
A new cycle is beginning

The moon comes up
The moon is visible in the sky

And the music calls
The sound of music can be heard

You're getting tired of staring at the same four walls
You are bored of staying in the same place

You're out of your room
You have left your dwelling

And down on the street
You are walking on the road

Moving through the crowds through the midnight heat
You are moving through a crowded street in the heat of the night

The traffic roars
The sound of vehicles is loud

And the sirens scream
The sound of sirens can be heard

You look at the faces, it's just like a dream
The sight of people is surreal

Nobody knows where you're going
No one is aware of your destination

Nobody cares where you've been
No one is concerned with your past

'Cause you belong to the city
You are a part of the city environment

You belong to the night
The nighttime atmosphere is familiar to you

Living in a river of darkness, beneath the neon light
You are living in an area with bright neon lights, surrounded by darkness

You were born in the city
You were born and raised in an urban area

Concrete under your feet
The ground beneath you is paved with concrete

It's in your moves, it's in your blood
The city lifestyle is ingrained in you

You're a man of the street
You are comfortable with the urban street culture

When you said goodbye
When you left the city

You were on the run
You were fleeing from something

Tryin' to get away from the things you'd done
You were trying to escape the consequences of your actions

Now you're back again
You have returned to the city

And you're feeling strange
You are experiencing unfamiliar emotions

So much has happened, but nothing has changed
Although time has passed, things remain the same

You still don't know where you're going
Your destination is uncertain

Your still just a face in the crowd
Your identity is unremarkable in the urban setting

You can feel it
You can sense it

You can taste it
You can experience it

You can see it
You can observe it

You can face it
You can confront it

You can hear it
You can listen to it

You're getting near it
You are approaching it

You want to make it
You want to succeed

'Cause you can take it
You are confident in your ability to handle it

You belong
You are a part of the urban lifestyle and culture
