Neon lights flicker buzzin'
Tired soles hit the pavement cold
Lost echoes in alleyways
Shadows of stories never told
City's heartbeat pulsin'
Loud hearts beat
In silent screams
Livin' on back alley dreams
Broken homes and lover's schemes
Graffiti on the walls speak
Truths nobody wants to hear
Faces passin' by whisad no tear
Sirens wail a distant
Cry street lamp
Flickers like a ghost
Holdin' on to nothin'
Just phantoms haunt
The lives we host
We chase shadows run from light
Holdin' dreams in dead of night
Cries of freedom lost on streets
Back alley dreams we repeat
Broken bottles shattered
Pride reflections of our yesterday
Concrete jungle eats
The soul dreamers left in disarray
Screechin' tires midnight's
Call echoes through abandoned halls
City's grip won't let
Us go trapped within
These endless walls
Saxophone's mournful wail
Cuts through darkness thick as lead
Melody of broken dreams
Whispers in a lover's bed
We chase shadows run from light
Holdin' dreams in dead of night
Cries of freedom lost on streets
Back alley dreams we repeat
