Lyrics
Each night she goes fishing with lipstick and scent Her fishnet stockings trawl the sidewalks for rent If her clothes look tawdry she'd have to agree But the truth lies in her eyes saying this isn't me The bars on her windows don't hold back her dreams The shackles that find her close slowly unseen No alarm call wake-up can help shake her free From the sleepless prison Life in red city Each day he goes hunting for comfort and beer And on the street corner finds escape he should fear Each look in his mirror hides a diff'rent disguise Never sure of the moment when his truth turned to lies The bars on his windows don't hold back his dreams The shackles that find him close slowly unseen No alarm call wake-up can help set him free From the sleepless prison Life in red city Each night they go calling on nightclubs and bars Blues songs smoky rooms outside screaming cars In downtown red city stripped of their pride Naked in the red light only souls left to hide The bars on their windows don't hold back their dreams The shackles that find them close slowly unseen No alarm call wake-up can help set them free From the sleepless prison Life in red city
