======================


        I got the time, I got my feet
        let's go hit the street
        High in the city
        high in the city

        I got my mace and you got your knife
        you gotta protect your own life
        High in the city
        high in the city

        I wanna get high in the city
        I wanna stay alive here in the city
        I wanna stay high in the city
        High in the city
        high in the city

        Let's not walk down Sutton Place
        you know everybody there's gotten Akitas
        High in the city
        high in the city

        Don't want to talk politics today
        I feel too good, let me have my way
        High in the city
        high in the city

        Watch out for that guy on your right
        seen him on the news last Saturday night
        He was high in the city
        high in the city

        Hey, look they're setting fire to that jeep
        there's not much you can keep
        High in the city
        here in the city

        I wanna get high in the city
        I wanna stay alive in the city
        I wanna stay high in the city
        High in the city
        high in the city

        So many people feeling low
        and there's only one way to go -
        - To get high in the city
        high in the city

        Let's grab a pie, let's hit the park
        I'll kiss and hug you till it gets dark
        Here in the city
        getting high in the city

        (High in the city)

        (High in the city and you're looking so pretty)
        (feelin' pretty witty, gettin' high off of the city)
        (Hi-ai-ai-ai, high in the city)

        (High in the city)
        (High in the city and you're looking so pretty)
        (feelin' pretty witty, gettin' high off of the city)
        (Hi-ai-ai-ai, high in the city)

        (High in the city)
        (High in the city and you're looking so pretty)
        (feelin' pretty witty, gettin' high off of the city)
