Night in the City
(L: Schell; M: Cimetta)

Notes:
The thing I remember most about "Night In The City" is that it was written in one sitting on the toilet. And for all intents and purposes it wasn't edited very much at all. Originally, there was no "Promises" section after the solo; we added those lyrics during the recording sessions.

Stalking the city's empty streets tonight
With dreams so far behind no cares in sight
Full of life like Christ in his manger
When people see us coming they all scream "danger"
As we start to run people hear our call
United we stand united we fall
The name of the game is who survives
One false move and we'll bury you alive.

Promises made are promises to keep
We're crushing you into eternal sleep
Move out of our path now it's time to play
I doubt you'll live to see another day.

Night in the city—a most dangerous of games
Night in the city—about who's on my terrain
Night in the city—like you have nothing to gain
Night in the city.

Dominating everyone we see
Those sorry-ass suckers haven't paid our fee
Put up or shut up we're going to go
Chop you like a tree you fall blow-by-blow
Lights out in your head it's past your bedtime
A dirty garbage can is where we shall dine
Vigilantes running wild all around
Imprisons us with darkness which surrounds.

Promises made are promises to keep
We're crushing you into eternal sleep
Move out of our path now it's time to play
I doubt you'll live to see another day.

Night in the city —a most dangerous of games
Night in the city—about who's on my terrain
Night in the city—like you have nothing to gain
Night in the city.

Promises—we guarantee
Promises—we guarantee
Promises
Promises—we guarantee
Promises—the ultimate
Promises.

A wasted desolate district we rule
By the wand of evil it's waved so cruel
The killing machines are out on the prowl
Yelling and screaming as people hear us howl
The moon is full but on the decline
Insanity runs throughout our minds
Daylight brings on another fantasy
Back to our graves we rule eternally.

Night in the city—a most dangerous of games
Night in the city—about who's on my terrain
Night in the city—like you have nothing to gain
Night in the city...
