I was eighteen
I was young and dumb
Well I was living life
In a hick slum
I had to get out
I had to make a move
I was going insane
Out of my brain
I got down on my knees, had a shot to ease the pain

So I climb on board on the five-fifteen, yeah
Cause baby I'm so bored of just playing clean
So clean

I am
Living in the city
Well I am
Living in the city

So I got a place
I wasn't lonely
I ordered pizza
With pepperoni
I tried some cocaine
I had some ladies
Followed the city lights
Right down to Hades

So I climb on board on the five-fifteen, yeah
Cause baby I'm so bored of just playing clean
So clean

I am
Living in the city
Well I am
Living in the city
Alright!

So I climb on board on the five-fifteen, yeah
Cause baby I'm so bored of just playing clean
So clean

Yeah!
Living in the city
Well I am
Living in the city
I had to make a move
Living in the city
I got it coming on
Living in the city
Oooh yeah!
