   Lyrics: Klaus Meine
     When the daylight is falling down into the night
   And the sharks try to cut a big piece out of life
   It feels alright to go out to catch an outrageous thrill
   But it's more like spinning wheels of fortune
   Which never stand still
     Big city, big city nights
   You keep me burning
   Big city, big city nights
     When the sunlight is rising up in my eyes
   And the long night has left me back at somebody's side
   It feels alright for a long sweet minute like hours before
   But it's more like looking out for something
   I can't find anymore
     Big city, big city nights
   You keep me burning
   Big city, big city nights
   Always yearning
     There is no dream
   That you can't make true, if you're looking for love
   But there's no girl
   Who's burning the ice away from my heart
   Maybe tonight!
     Big city, big city nights
   You keep me burning
   Big city, big city nights
   Always yearning
   Big city, big city nights
   You keep me burning
   Big city, big city nights
   Always yearning
