Everybody! Yeah, ooh, a thin moon me in a smoke-screen sky Where beams of your lovelight chase Don't move, don't speak, don't feel no pain With the rain running down my face Your matches still light up the sky And many a tear lives on in my eye Down in the city just Hoople and me Alright Come on! Whatever comes of you and me I'd love to leave my memory with you Now I'm here (now I'm here) Think I'll stay around, around, around, around Down in the city justa you and me Aw yeah!
