It's quiet downtown
In a place that once was bustling with life
Is suddenly empty
The city is dying
Nobody seems to be around
Busy people leading busy nights
Underneath the yellow lights
Just trying to get by
So many stories
So many different ways of life
Like a never ending TV show
The action never is running low
It's always new
I never thought I would see the city go to sleep
Now it's quiet downtown
In a place that once was bustling with life
Is suddenly empty
The city is dying
Nobody seems to be around
Nobody seems to be around
Nobody seems to be around, oh
I never thought I'd miss two hour waits at my favorite restaurant chains, oh
Or traffic and jaywalkers making me late
It's all a sign that we're alive
Now it's quiet downtown
In a place that once was bustling with life
The city is dying
Nobody seems to be around
It's quiet downtown
In a place that once was bustling with life
Is suddenly empty
The city is dying
Nobody seems to be around
Nobody seems to be around
Nobody seems to be around, oh
The city is dying, nobody seems to be around
