Magic City Lyrics

I know that the sun will come out tomorrow
Bring me only joy don't bring no sorrow
Call me optimistic, I believe in life
All is here for the taking, for a price
For a price, yeah yaaaaa
For a price... For a price
Good Lord

And I say, I know that the sun will come out tomorrow
Bring me only joy don't bring no sorrow
Call me optimistic, I believe in life
All is here for the taking, for a price

And it's a magic city, magic lights, magic moments, magical heights
Oh magic city, magic lights, magic moments, magical heights

I said, where the mystic is always around
You enjoy the sights and sounds
So high you don't want to be down
This is where I can be found, hey hey

The mystic is all around
Enjoy the sights and sounds
So high you don't wanna be down
And that's that's where I can be...
It's the magic city, magic lights, magic moments, magical heights
Whoa, magic city, magic lights, magic moments, magical heights

Ay, There I was depressed, frustrated and lonely
Then a voice from nowhere came and consoled me
Man do the best you can, you stand up and be a man
You're in the magic city, with magic lights, oh magic moments, magical heights

This magic city, magic lights, magical moments, magical hhheighhhts heights
All right, all right, huumm

I know that the sun will come out tomorrow
Bring me only joy don't bring no sorrow no no
Call me optimistic, man believe in life, Yeah
And all is there for the taking for a price, children

You're in the magic city, magic lights, magic moments, magical heights
Whoa, magic city, magic lights, magic moments, magical heights Yeahhh
Magic city, magic lights, magic moments, magical heights
Whoa, magic city, magical heights, magic moments

I tell you once more
Where the mystic is all around
You enjoy the sights and sound
So high you don't want to be down
This is where I can be found
Down there where the mystic is all around
Enjoy the sights and the sound
So high you don't want to be down
Tell Dem, that's that's where I can...

Magic city, magic lights, magic moments, magical heights
Oh, magic city, magic lights, magic moments, magical heights
Ay, magic city, lawd, magic lights, lawd, magical moments, oohh magical heights
Magic city, magic lights, magic moments, magical heights

Beautiful you are, Beautiful you are ohh
Oh magic city I hope you should show us some pity
Show us a little love, from above, aahh
Bless I
Let us suppose of love
Let me take you to some place that I know
It's Magic city, the magic moments, magical heights, magic, magic
