Song title: City of night
City of night - 'The Promise' official take
Taxi Cab, Taxi Cab, at the light
Won't you take me on a ride through this city of night
I got some money and I'm feeling fine
I ain't in no hurry so just take your time
Some people wanna die young and gloriously[1]
But Taxi Cab driver, well that ain't me
I got a cute little baby down at 12th and Vine
And she opens for business just about closing time
Ah hey hey, ah hey hey
City of night, city of night
And I don't believe what I see in this street
I don't know how people they can take the heat
Well baby I'm a liar, I'm a cheat, and I don't care
I got my money, I can take my fare
Ah hey hey, ah hey hey
City of night, city of night
I'm riding tonight to see my sugar girl
You know she wears that dress without a care in the world
Yeah she got some loving that's as bright as the sun
And she brings it with her man when she comes
Hey, hey, city of night
Ah-hey, ah-hey, city of night
Ride on
Notes:
A.k.a "Taxi cab". Darkness outtake.

City of night
Taxicab, taxicab at the light
Won’t you take me on a ride
Through this city at night
I got some money and I’m feelin’ fine
I ain’t no hurry so just take your time
Some people wanna die young and gloriously
Well taxicab driver, hey that ain’t me[1]
I got a cute little baby
down at 12th and Vine
And she opens for business just about closin’ time
Ah hey hey, ah hey hey
City at night, city at night
I don’t believe what I see in this street
I don’t know how they can take the heat
Well baby I’m a liar, I’m a cheat
And I don’t care
I got my money, I can’t take my fare
I’m ridin’ tonight, I’m on my way
C’mon baby...
I can take it or live it, when it comes
Got my baby by the light of the sun
You know she brings it with her and then she comes
Hey, hey, city at night
Hey, hey, city at night Notes:
