City nights Summer breezes makes you feel all right Neon-lights Shining brightly make your brain ignite See the girls with the dresses so tight Give you love, if the price is right Black or white In the streets there's no wrong and no right Outta site Buy your kicks from the man in the white Feels all right Powder pleasure in your nose tonight See the men paint their faces and cry Like some girl, it makes you wonder why City life Sure is cool, but it cuts like a knife It's your life So forget all that you see It's not reality, it's just a fantasy Can't you see what this crazy life is doin' to me Life is just a fantasy Can you live this fantasy life Life is just a fantasy Can you live this fantasy life
