(Rudolf Schenker, Klaus Meine)

When the daylight is falling down into the night

And the sharks try to cut a big piece out of life

It feels alright to go out to catch an outrageous thrill

But it's more like spinning wheels of fortune

Which never stand still



Big city, big city nights

You keep me burning

Big city, big city nights



When the sunlight is rising up in my eyes

And the long night has left me back at somebody's side

It feels alright for a long sweet minute like hours before

But it's more like looking out for something

I can't find anymore



Big city, big city nights

You keep me burning

Big city, big city nights

Always yearning



There is no dream

That you can't make true, if you're looking for love

But there's no girl

Who's burning the ice away from my heart

Maybe tonight!



Big city, big city nights

You keep me burning

Big city, big city nights

Always yearning

Big city, big city nights

You keep me burning

Big city, big city nights

Always yearning
