Ah, the city
So many lights, you can actually pretend
That one of 'em's shining on you
I always wanted to see the lights of Broadway
I always wanted to hear the traffic roar
I always wanted to be a part of New York City's great big heart
And now I am, I couldn't ask for
I was that girl
I'm all of them
Trapped in a room full of shadows and not enough light
And soon we'll fade into these walls
Into the nothingness
The end
People like us, we get through the day
Surviving the city way better than most
We go through the motions from nightcap to nightcap
Here but not here, with the heart of a ghost
People like us, we meet up some night
In a room full of strangers who call themselves friends
It feels like a dream, but it's too hard to tell
Where the dream begins and the real world ends
And where
Where do we belong?
We might have to ask ourselves
Where, where do we belong?
People like us
Private stock
Where?
People like us, we take lovers like pills
Just hoping to cure what we know we can't fix
We lay in their arms and we say pretty things
We'll be there but not there
And we'll still get our kicks
People like us, we sure get our kicks
We heal awful fast and we don't even scar
We're here but not here in a room full of friends
We could join in the fray or stay here where we are and
Where (where)
Where do we belong?
Do we need to ask ourselves
Where (where)
Where do we belong?
People like us
Damaged goods
Where
We dance alone
On a crowded floor
We weren't given much
And we don't expect much more
More is not a word we use
More would never be enough
People like us, we slip by through the cracks
We'll never be famous, so who's gonna care?
Nobody needs us
And everyone's had his way
Here but not here, we'll be there but not there
And where
Where do we belong?
We only have ourselves
Where
Where do we belong?
People like us
Lost
And found
Where
Where?
