what am i doin here in such a lonely place birds fly below i m high up in my cage wide awake again or am i dreamin trains passing by world s spinning round my head then i heard a sweet voice cry telling me yeah it s gonna be alright i just look at the skyline a million lights are lookin back at me and when they shine i see a place i know i ll find some peace i just look at the skyline i used to rush around to keep busy in the day then we d sit up and drink we might find something new to say no i can t live this way but then i heard that sweet voice cry telling me yeah it s gonna be alright i just look at the skyline a million lights are lookin back at me and when they shine i see a place i know i ll find some peace i just look at the skyline i look at the skyline a million lights are lookin back at me and when they shine i see a place i know i ll find some peace i just look at the skyline what am i doin here in such a lonely place
