Wide awake on the city streets
The hustles on while the city sleeps
Walking barefoot on the cobblestone
Headin for some cross town bar.

She called me from down in Chinatown
Been boostin' from the boys all night long.
She'll be hidin till the break of dawn.
Then runnin like some west side whore

CHORUS
You tell me what you want
You tell me what you need.
I give you what I got
Something to believe in.
Been here before
Turned out the lights
And got lost between the love and the lies
Then we find ourselves
In the middle of the night
In the middle of the night

Travis pulls the meter down
It's a rainy night in Stuyvesant
Been flying in his taxi all night long
Watching the rain wash away the scum
Eye to eye in the mirror meets
The eyes of an angel yet to sleep
There are no words left to speak
Except for "Daddy can you take me home"

CHORUS
You tell me what you want
You tell me what you need.
I give you all I got
Something to believe in.
Been here before
Stuck at the light
And got lost between the love and the lies
Then we find ourselves......
