This City Never Sleeps
Eurythmics · Live 1983 - 1989 (Disc 1)
Of the underground trains
You know it feels like distant thunder
You know there's so many people
Living in this house
And don't even know their names
I guess it's just a feeling - in the city
Walls so thin I can almost
Hear them breathing
And if I listen in
I feel my own heart beating
I guess it's just a feeling - in the city
