De stad schrijft haar naam aan de hemel
In neon en natrium licht
De stad is een kermis van kleur
De stad verandert steeds haar gezicht
Steeds een ander gezicht
Steeds opnieuw jouw gezicht, jouw gezicht
Ik beleef in deze uren
Steeds weer nieuwe avonturen
In de armen van de stad
In mijn armen
Kom, ik wacht al zoveel uren
Op het grote avontuur
En in jouw armen vind ik dat
De liefde kan niet altijd duren
In de armen van de stad
In de armen van de stad
De liefde is als regen op mijn huid
Maar mijn koel gevoel dat mij omsluit
Laten we gaan hier uit
Hier ver vandaan
Ver weg, samen met jou
Laten we gaan, laten we gaan, laten we gaan
De stad lokt met duizenden stemmen
Van mensen alleen in de nacht
De stad zingt een lied met hun woorden
Er is altijd weer een ander die wacht
Steeds een ander die wacht
Steeds ben ik het die wacht
Op jou wacht
Ik wil verder gaan en dwalen
Door steeds andere verhalen
In de armen van de stad
In mijn armen
Ik wil nachtenlang verdwalen
In de stad van jouw verhalen
In jouw armen wil ik dat
Ik wil altijd verder dwalen
In de armen van de stad
In de armen van de stad
De ochtend glijdt stil over me heen
De lucht wordt wit en wijd
Ik ben alleen, waar ben jij
Waar waarheen, jij bleef toch daar
In de stad, ik blijf alleen
Jij blijft bij haar
Ik blijf alleen
Jij blijft bij haar
Alle klokken kan ik horen
Als haar hartslag in mijn oren
In de armen van de stad
In haar armen
Hier ben ik opnieuw geboren
Heb ik jou voorgoed verloren
In de armen van de stad
In de armen van de stad
