Heart of the City

Royal Hunt
Can't see no changes
I wanna be free
I'm a bird on a wire
My blood is boilin'
it's burnin' in me
Overkill by fire
Sun goes down
and full moon rising
Chasin' evil shadows in town
Just like a junkie
I can't see a thing
Feelin' the chill
that surrounds me
I can't get out
cos I'm trapped in the ring
Something's comin' to haunt me
Sun goes down
and full moon rising
Chasin' evil shadows in town
Set me free
don't even try to
put a chain on me
Page was a turn
you're gonna learn
Right in the heart of the city
<Interlude>
Another kid from
downtown you see
Born to live in the sorrow
I owe you nothing
and that's how it is gonna be
By the morning it's over
Sun goes down
and full moon rising
Chasin' evil shadows in town
Set me free
don't even try to
put a chain on me
Page was a turn
you're gonna learn
Right in the heart of the city
<Interlude>
Set me free
don't even try to
put a chain on me
Page was a turn
you're gonna learn
Right in the heart of the city
Set me free
don't even try to
put a chain on me
Page was a turn
you're gonna learn
Right in the heart of the city
cked down
and they put you first in line
And so you finally ask yourself
just how big you are
and take your place in a wiser
world of bigger motor cars
<Intelrude>
So Where the hell was Biggles
when you needed him
last Saturday
And where were all the sportsmen
who always pulled you though
They're all resting down
in Cornwall
writing up their memoirs
for a paper-back edition
of the Boy Scout Manual
See there!  A man born
