The City

Sweet Oslo breeze take me down through the city
To the crowd on the old side of town
‘cos you’ve been waiting for the break of the sun
I’ve been counting the nights that you could have been with me
Now our hearts and the streets are alive
And since we can’t afford the fanfare
I vote we all just lose control
Because we know we’ll see the fireworks
And then we’ll take the night
And the passion that’s been stacking on me
And all the drinking and dancing and laughing, drunk second glances got me beat
We’ll never fall to our knees
Keep our feet on the floor
We’ve both been here before
Taken by the rush of the people flowing down to the fjord
We set a course for the river
And we wait for the game to begin
She screams «I'm alive, I’m alive, I’m alive» Oslo by come take my hand
And we can run through the city with the lovers tonight
And since we can’t afford the fanfare
I vote we all just lose control
Because we know we’ll see the fireworks
And then we’ll take the night
And the passion that’s been stacking on me
And all the drinking and dancing and laughing, drunk second glances got me beat
And we won’t fall to our knees
Keep our feet on the floor
We’ve both been here before
We’ll make our way through the sprawl
Witness our rise and fall
Oh tonight, tonight we hit the city
Oh tonight, tonight we storm the halls
Oh tonight, tonight we hit the city, yeah
