  • When the daylight is falling down into the night
    And the sharks try to cut a big piece out of life
    It feels alright to go out to catch an outrageous thrill
    But it's more like spinning wheels of fortune
    Which never stand still

    Big city, big city nights
    You keep me burning
    Big city, big city nights

    When the sunlight is rising up in my eyes
    And the long night has left me back at somebody's side
    It feels alright for a long sweet minute like hours before
    But it's more like looking out for something
    I can't find anymore

    Big city, big city nights
    You keep me burning
    Big city, big city nights
    Always yearning

    There is no dream
    That you can't make true, if you're looking for love
    But there's no girl
    Who's burning the ice away from my heart
    Maybe tonight!

    Big city, big city nights
    You keep me burning
    Big city, big city nights
    Always yearning

    Big city, big city nights
    You keep me burning
    Big city, big city nights
    Always yearning Writer/s: HERMAN RAREBELL, KLAUS MEINE, RUDOLF SCHENKER
