At six o'clock the garbage truck is groanin' down the street
Eatin' up the wreckage of another wasted week
Wakin' up the suburbs from another sleepless night
Electric dreams of suicide and the seriousness of life
And it's just another day in the city
Yeah, yeah, yeah
The mornin' DJ talkin' crap and chokin' on cornflakes
You're early at the station but today the trains are late
Crawlin' from the underground, the ants are swarmin' out
There's never any argument, never any doubt
That it's just another day in the city
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Somehow you make it home as darkness chokes the sky
Distant sirens scream as an escapin' jet flies by
The TV's talkin' to itself, it's got nothin' much to say
You're hopin' that she'll call you and your mind is far away
And it's just another day
Just another day in the city
