Living in the City Hurray for the Riff Raff

[Verse 1]
I've got her cane
Oh and Big Danny is wasted
He said I'm the sweetest thing
Oh that he's never tasted
Mariposa's singing love songs
All in her dark apartment
Fourteen floors a'birthin
And fourteen floors a'dying

[Chorus]
Livin' in the city
We're just livin' in the city
Livin' in the city
Well it's hard, it's hard, it's hard

[Verse 2]
Oh I'll take you to the stairwell
And give you something I can offer
You know the heart is not the hopeless
The heart is a lonely hunter
Hot long summer days
We're just sneakin' by the river
Well, I'll lock my dreams away
And I'll watch the city quiver
