Out by the neon lights   I stand with my back to the wall   Cold breeze of city night   Night when the angels might fall      This city takes no prisoners   Only the strong will survive   Some stumble in the dark   But I got light in my eyes      Ooh, it's dangerous tonight   Someone's gotta fall and some will survive   Ooh, might cut you like a knife   If you hear it calling in the middle of the night      refrain:   I was born in the backstreet   Middle of a death scene   Raised by the devil himself   Talk about wrong place at a wrong time   Story of my life, babe, is all I can tell   Kill city kid      All I got I had to steal   Had to run and fight to survive   Scars and wounds that won't heal got what's mine   And some more      Ooh, it's dangerous tonight   Someone's gotta fall and some will survive   Ooh, might cut you like a knife   If you hear it calling in the middle of the night      refrain (3x)      Kill city kid
