Sun City Nightlife - Peter Hammill

To the city beat on a treacherous curve
Up upon the high wire you're observed
You live as you live
You'll get what you deserve：
High life
Dig those highlights
Sun city nightlife：
You'll be like a moth consumed by a flame
It's a rich man's world
Kick those beggars and fools
Conspicuous consumption the only rule
But the law of retribution will be terribly cruel
Oh
But you mustn't stop to think about your place upon the planet
If you did
You might steal yourself away
And it doesn't really matter if the show goes up tomorrow
After all
This petty place is day to day
Highlights of the highlife
Dancing at midnight
Dancing all moral existence away
Nightlife
Highlights
Highlife
Twilight
Oh
You mustn't ever think about your place upon the planet
Don't look further than the bottom of a drink
Don't ever think about the way you'll feel tomorrow
Don't stop dancing or the boat will sink
All in all it's gone before you blink
Highlights of the high life
Sun city nightlife
You'll be like a moth consumed by flame
Twilight of the high life
Chimes at midnight
You're still dancing all moral existence away
A motorbike in afrika
He's riding the white line
Oblivious of snakes stretched out across the way like tripwire
He's dancing
