  • Take a walk around midnight in the City
    Young Blood is hiding there somewhere
    If your looking for something to do
    There's always something happening there

    Like I and Bragger, we borrowed a coup today
    Here come Pepe and she's got a friend in a Chevrolet
    But she ain't running, she just walking a little slow,
    and she ain't crying, she's just singin a little low...

    "They say this city will make you dirty, but you look alright,
    you feel real pretty when he's holding you tight"
    City will make you mean
    But that's the make up on your face
    Love will wash you clean in the nights disgrace.

    Find a block where your people can find you
    Keep a third eye watching behind you
    You never know when your making a memory
    They will wish they were here together again, someday

    Kids looking for something to get into take a look
    Two for the movie show
    Three in the back row
    Hold on tight!

    Remember you might have looked like cool twelve
    But your fuse felt just like dynamite
    City will make you dirty, but you look alright,
    you feel real pretty when he's holding you tight
    City will make you mean
    But that's the make up on your face
    Love will wash you clean in the night... dirty dirty dirt dirt...

    Take a walk around midnight in the City
    Young Blood will find you there somewhere
    and if your looking for something to do
    There's always something happening there
    Something's happening there oooh ooh ooooh
    Something's happening there hey hey hey... looky here y'all Writer/s: BEATRICE MILLER, MATT PARAD, MICHAEL FRANCIS GONZALEZ, PHOEBE HOLIDAY RYAN
