lyrics

-VERSE-
A carefree girl on her way to the place to be,
We turn to look and then we smile knowingly.
The lights and sounds will draw us to our avenue,
A drink or two and we ditch what we thought we knew.

-CHORUS-
The city's alive with people, looking to make their night.
The city's alive with people, spoiling for a fight.
The city's alive with people, wanting to get their share.
The city's alive with people, willing to take the dare.
Why not us?

-VERSE-
We cross to Shadyside and the laughs are flowing free,
Looking for a place that skips the dignity.
The smoke in our eyes and a barmaid with tattoos.
When she gives us her number and there's not much left to lose.

-CHORUS-
The city’s alive with people, looking to make their mark.
The city’s alive with people, hoping to find a spark.
The city’s alive with people, wanting to take what’s theirs.
The city’s alive with people, living without a care.
Why not us?

-VERSE-
Out in Oakland, a dozen drinks into the night,
Her boyfriend glares at us, it seems exactly right.
The reggae’s flowing like the beer in front of me,
A time to know that there’s nowhere I’d rather be.

-CHORUS-
The city’s alive with people.
The city’s alive with people.

The city’s alive with people, looking to make their night.
The city’s alive with people, spoiling for a fight.
The city’s alive with people, wanting to take what’s theirs.
The city’s alive with people, living without a care.
Why not us?
