Lyrics

Old men, young men, preachers saying "Amen"
Taking up collection, playing on the bass drum
How come..........
The city never sleeps at night?

Red cars, blue cars, payment overdue cars
Cops with indigestion, millionaires and sun bombs
How come..........
The city never sleeps at night?
The city never sleeps at night?

Short girls, tall girls, happy that there are girls
Walkin' into nights love, holding hands and then some
How come..........
The city never sleeps at night?

Good guys, bad guys, grin and face and show guys
Losers with their hands out, kitchens baking bread crumbs
How come..........
The city never sleeps at night?
The city never sleeps at night?

Long nights, short nights, big hello's and good nights
Dreams and conversations, not a single ho hum
How come..........
The city never sleeps at night?
