When you're alone in the city
No one knows your name
Alone in the city everybody feels the same

When you're alone in the city
No one knows your name
Alone in the city everybody feels the same

You've got your peace and love
You've got your liquor and drugs
Liquor and drugs, peace and love
It feels the same

Scratch the surface
There's something living on the other side
Scratch the surface
There's something living that's worthwhile

Alone in the city
Like a single flame
Alone in the city everybody feels the same

You're alone in the city and you don't connect
The world around you and your effect
Alone in the city
Take it easy baby (oh yeah)

Scratch the surface
There's something living on the other side (it's been alive)
Scratch the surface
There's something living that's worthwhile
All my life

You've got your peace and love
You've got your liquor and drugs
Liquor and drugs, peace and love
It feels the same

(It's been alive) scratch the surface (all my life)
There's something living on the other side
(It's been alive) scratch the surface (all my life)
There's something living that's worthwhile
(It's been alive) scratch the surface (all my life)
There's something living on the other side
(It's been alive) scratch the surface
All my life
