Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
I can't believe it
I've got a nightmare again
Can't remember
I was a knight and I'd lost
My shining armour
No direction that I could follow
[Pre-Chorus]
Wake up, isn't too bad to get up
Forget about your nightmare
This time you'll like
To get out of hand again
[Chorus - Repeat Twice]
City Lover, City Rider, I wanna go
Fighting again like a tiger
Down to the town, I just wanna freak out
Rocking your body forever
City Lover, City Rider, I wanna go
I've got a burning desire
Down to the town, I just wanna get out
Sticking together and ever
[Verse 2]
Can't forget it
Dreaming again to be lost
Lost forever
Without my powerful light
I couldn't struggle
Nothing shining around me
