《Dirty City》歌词

[00:00:00] Dirty City - Steve Winwood

[00:00:46] The gangster came to see by boy

[00:00:49] When I was working nights

[00:00:51] To pay one more bill

[00:01:01] He promised the kid a sweeter life

[00:01:04] Said "Gotta understand

[00:01:06] It's dog eat dog out there"

[00:01:16] Well I looked in his room

[00:01:18] When got home

[00:01:19] And underneath the covers

[00:01:22] Found a loaded gun

[00:01:31] He looked at me with empty eyes

[00:01:34] He said "It's time for me

[00:01:36] To be moving on"

[00:01:47] Dirty city this is a dirty town

[00:02:02] Where's the pity I can't

[00:02:06] Move on up to higher ground

[00:02:23] I spoke to my woman the other day

[00:02:26] She said "I need more cash

[00:02:28] We can't pay our way"

[00:02:38] She said "Everything gets really hard

[00:02:41] And I need something sweet

[00:02:43] Don't you understand "

[00:02:53] The roar of the train

[00:02:54] Runs by my room

[00:02:56] And on these summer nights

[00:02:58] I can't sleep anymore

[00:03:07] I walk in the streets to greet the dawn

[00:03:11] Or stay at home all night

[00:03:13] And stare at the floor

[00:03:24] Dirty city this is a dirty town

[00:03:39] Where's the pity

[00:03:42] I can't move on up to higher ground

[00:03:54] Dirty city this is a dirty town

[00:04:08] Where's the pity

[00:04:12] I can't move on up to higher ground

[00:04:30] Help me now

[00:04:35] Move on to a higher ground

[00:04:44] Help somehow

[00:04:49] Make a move to a higher ground

[00:04:58] Won't you help somehow

[00:05:04] Make a move to a higher ground

[00:05:13] Won't you help somehow

[00:05:19] I need a little help

[00:05:29] Dirty city this is a dirty town

[00:05:44] Where's the pity

[00:05:47] I can't move on up to higher ground

[00:05:53] Ground higher ground

[00:05:59] Dirty city this is a dirty town

[00:06:14] Where's the pity

[00:06:17] I can't move on up to higher ground
