Stopped in fright at a traffic light
Red eyes staring me out
Strange feelings comin down tonight
Cant quite figure it out
Fit your alibi before your crime
No need in serving no time
Case you scam, or youll get rammed
Stretched out on that line
Hangin out at a shooting site
Cold turkey calling a tune
All the answers coming late tonight
Try to look like youre immune
In your eyes you can feel the heat
But the feelings outa touch
Youre working on just a holding on
Youre hurtin oh so much
Feel the city heartbeat, feel the pulse in the streets
Can you feel the city heartbeat, can you feel the pulse in the streets
Can you feel your own heartbeat
Can you feel your blood begin to heat?
Call off your dogs cause I am no fox
Turn off your white light
My alibi is rock tight
Your night stick, cheap trick is pullin me in
Your monkey suit, stage fright, black and white blue suit, law suit
Is wearin, mighty thin
Feel the city heartbeat, feel the pulse in the streets
Can you feel the city heartbeat, can you feel the pulse in the streets
Can you feel your own heartbeat
Can you feel your blood begin to heat?
Borstal boy laughing at justice now hes a star
And the perfume he wore lingers on the kings road
Like a whore
Legs wrapped around a plastic stool
Hes making more in one day
Than youve had.......hot, hot dinners
Call out your legions, the savior is loose
Telling true stories you know that aint no use
Your empire is burning you can feel the smell
Your hot rod , space pod, tax relief, kill machine
Is looking mean
And should be working well
Feel the city heartbeat, feel the pulse in the streets
Can you feel your own heartbeat
Can you feel the pulse in the streets
Can you feel your own heartbeat
Can you feel your blood begin to heat?
