Dio One Night In The City Lyrics

Johnny was a dark child
He was promised to us all
But rides in the night, can lift you out of sight
When they call


Sally was a princess
She was chosen for the crown
But chains can't stop the sound


Of one night in the city
One night looking pretty


The someone opened doorways
And Johnny slipped away
Running for the bright, where dark is always light
But there's no day


The princess saw the dark child
And the dark child said her name


Come steal away, we'll play the game


Do you watch, do you see, do you know the people in me
I'm the bite, I'm the bark, I'm the scream
Are you poor, are you sure, are you holy, are you pure
I can tell you tales you just might not believe


One night in the city, one night looking pretty
One night in the city, one night looking pretty


The children shared the wonder
Of the leather and the lace
But one child went away, and one child stayed to play


For one night in the city
