Lyrics Up in the City - Ugly Kid Joe

Just like the pretty girl
That doesn't know she's pretty
I think it's time for her to move up to the city
Up to the city

It's where the lights are bright and everybody knows
But something's wrong tonight 'cause that's the way it goes
Up in the city
Up in the city

I just heard it yesterday she's left the town and gone away
Guess it's always somethin' that we knew
Was there always something wrong she's packed her bags and movin' on
Love will find a way to follow through

And now she's sinking down but doesn't know she's sinkin'
Mayby the time is right to stop these lights from blinkin'
Up in the city

And as the sun goes down the city comes alive
Sometimes the wrong feels right but somethin' won't survive
Up in the city
Up in the city

I just heard it yesterday she's left the town and gone away
Guess it's always somethin' that we knew
Was there always something wrong she's packed her bags and movin' on
Love will find a way to follow through

She didn't even know, her story untold she was already there
She had a look in her eyes like something had died
She was alway there, yeah!

I just heard it yesterday she's left the town and gone away
Guess it's always somethin' that we knew
Was there always something wrong she's packed her bags and movin' on
Love will find a way to follow through

Up in the city
Up in the city
Up in the city
Up in the city
Up in the city
Up in the city
Up in the city
Up in the city

Up in the city
Up in the city
