Big City Nights
Scorpions Lyrics

When the daylight is falling down into the night
As the sun sets and darkness envelopes the city

And the sharks try to cut a big piece out of life
Amidst the hustle and bustle of the city, everyone is trying to make it big

It feels alright to go out to catch an outrageous thrill
Despite the chaos, there's a sense of excitement in the air

But it's more like spinning wheels of fortune
However, luck doesn't always favor those in the city

Which never stand still
Things are constantly changing in the fast-paced city life

Big city, big city nights
Referring to the captivating and thrilling atmosphere of the city after dark

You keep me burning
The energy of the city makes one feel alive

When the sunlight is rising up in my eyes
As the sun rises and another day begins

And the long night has left me back at somebody's side
After a night out, returning to a companion's side

It feels alright for a long sweet minute like hours before
There's a temporary feeling of contentment and happiness

But it's more like looking out for something
Yet, there's a feeling of searching for something elusive and intangible

I can't find anymore
Something that was once present is now missing

Always yearning
There's a perpetual desire for something more

There is no dream
Anything is possible in the city

That you can't make true, if you're looking for love
The city has a way of bringing together people and fulfilling desires

But there's no girl
However, despite the possibilities, there's no one person who can melt the artist's heart

Who's burning the ice away from my heart
No one has been able to break through the artist's emotional barriers

Maybe tonight!
Perhaps tonight will be the night when everything changes
