Chicago is Now (working title)

The skyline looms and your face is wide
Suddenly, I feel as though I have nothing to hide
The city speaks of truthful lies and allures the best
I can’t help but feel like this is all some kind of test

Horns and yells sing you to sleep
Flickering lights and cigarette smoke helps you keep
Your mind and your sanity alight
Here, everything is a fight

Chicago, oh Chicago, the secrets you hold
Cities have wonders untold
And I wanna see them all
I wanna run through you until I fall

The dark streets are cold and unforgiving
But I want you, I need you, this I sing
Listen to me, hear my cry
This is the hardest I have ever tried

Cold winters that seem to last all year
Hot summer that are too short, I fear
So bundle up
Baby it’s cold outside

Chicago, oh Chicago, the secrets you hold
Cities have wonders untold
And I wanna see them all
I wanna run through you until I fall
