It's another night headed for nowhere,
It's another face alone in the crowd,
One more walking wounded who once lost her dream,
Downtown, the dark is selling, for beauty, what's just a lie in full light of day,
Satisfaction is sold like cheap magazines.
There's a crack in you concrete heart that's wide enough for a tear,
There's a light, right there in the night, shining through the dark you fear.
I've seen the tears that run like rivers under the streets of this heartbreak city,
Sirens scream like a cry from above,
Lord, have mercy, we're just looking for love.
She has a dream, over and over,
The alley, at night, she knows has no end,
Any man with a fee is her one and only,
Here I sit, like a judge and a jury,
I can't hear it when the wounded scream,
While every last lost soul in the city knows the nightmare of a lost dream.
I've seen the tears that forge like rivers under the streets of this heartbreak city,
A silent scream like a cry from above,
Lord, have mercy, we're just looking for love.
There's a crack in you concrete heart that's wide enough for a tear,
There's a light, right there in the night that's shining through the dark you fear.
I've seen the tears that run like rivers under the streets of this heartbreak city,
Sirens scream like a cry from above,
Lord, have mercy, we're just looking for love,
I've seen the tears that run like rivers under the streets of this heartbreak city,
Sirens scream like a cry from above,
Lord, have mercy, we're just looking for love.
Yes, we are,
We're just looking for love,
Oh yeah,
Sirens scream like a cry from above,
Lord, have mercy, we're just looking for love.
