Don't keep waitin' for that train in vain
'Cause it don't ever run on time
You'll be standin' in that falling rain
I know you never will be mine

But it won't take too long
And it won't take too long
To tear that city down
Tear that city down, yeah, yeah

I've just been ridin' on that night train
I never came this way before
Now I doubt if it's the right train
To get me back to your front door

And it won't take too long
And it won't take too long
To tear that city down
Tear that city down
Tear it up!
Tear that city down, yeah, yeah

I stay up all night long and wonder why
Keep on lookin' for a reason
New York City calls you, make you cry
And miss every change of season
Tear that city down
Tear that city down
Tear that city down
Tear that city down, yeah, yeah

Tear that city down
Tear that city down
Tear that city down
Tear that city down
Tear it up now!
