Well it's a close one, a real close one
   And no-one gets hurt, but she's got twice the fun
   But now they kiss in the rain
   And did someone call out someone's name
   From a white cadillac on a wide wind
   To her white dress across the great divide
   Into the warm moonlight
   And she's been reading Bukowski for days
   And she leans over, spits her name in my face
   And says "Well now you know how it feels"
   Well now you know how it feels
  
   And I was looking for you
   Looking for you
   Looking for you in the city last night
  
   The boys in the band steal a kiss in the mystery of the night
   11:59 to zero, live a blonde hair in jeans, holds her tight
   Turns on the heat and starts to fight and sayin' "that's my man"
   Well the myth of love must have been there
   The spirit of possession was there
  
   And the boys over at the bar
   Yeah they're mixing up their medicine
   The girls were on their mobile trying to get reception
   Johnny's shadow's getting long but he keeps on singing
   His shadow getting long but he keeps on singing:
  
   And I was looking for you
   Looking for you
   Looking for you in the city last night
  
   And people so strange
   People so strange
   People just keep talking in the city last night
  
   Take off your shades and scroll down to number nine
   You're living on the guest list, up against the big rack
   Head back, hand highs, it's getting loud in here
   Think you're going to have to shout
   And she's tearing off her clothes
   He's stirring all his drinks, oh yeah
   Streets divide them
   It's an empire of signs
   Honey say she can read
   And it looks like trouble
   And it tastes like chocolate if you want it
   It looks like trouble
   And it tastes like chocolate if you want it
  
   Still I was looking for you
   Looking for you
   Looking for you in the city last night
  
   And people so strange
   People so strange
   People just keep talking in the city last night
  
   And I was looking for you
   And I was looking for you
   And I was looking for you in the city last night
  
   And I was looking for you
   Yeah I was looking for you
   Yeah I was looking for you in the city last night
  
   It's alright!
   It's alright!
   If you say my name
   It's alright!
