sometimes i feel
like i don’t have a partner
sometimes i feel
like my only friend
is the city i live in
the city of anger
lonely as i am
together we cry

i drive on her streets
’cause she’s my companion
i walk trough her hills
’cause she knows who i am
she sees my good deeds
and she kisses me windy
i never worry
now that is a lie

i don’t ever want to feel
like i did that day
take me to the place i love
take me all the way

it’s hard to believe
that there’s nobody out there
it’s hard to believe that i’m all alone
at least i have her love
the city she loves me
lonely as i am
together we cry

under the bridge downtown
is where i drew some blood
under the bridge downtown
i could not get enough
under the bridge downtown
forgot about my love
under the bridge downtown
i gave my life away
