"We never sleep but we’re always dreaming"
She whispers and smiles
Some nights First Avenue is teeming
Some nights we just get high and get lost for a while
We never sleep we just keep waiting
We never sleep we just keep waiting
{chorus}
For the hustle, the hurry, the sound and the fury
And the sweet smell of summer as the sun sinks down low
Oh, I know we’re both tired, but this city’s on fire
Our thirst runs too deep, so baby we never sleep
We never die but we’re always dying
To feel that warm feeling again
There are angels in the lights on Seventh
And devils in the darkness of Ten-Ten
We never sleep and we’ve stopped trying
We never sleep we're still just dying
{chorus}
And we could always get some three-two
And we could always go to Ten-Ten
Ain’t you heard about the night club called the Nice Nice
Southeast Fourth to Fifteenth & Franklin
Yeah we keep running down those Southeast streets
And we’re just blazing through the August heat
But we never wake up at Fifteenth & Franklin
'Cause we never sleep, we just keep waiting
{chorus}
We never sleep we just keep waiting
{chorus}
