Won't you dig a little deeper And overcome the pain in your bleeding fingers Who knows, you might find some treasure Or something strange that belongs to none other Most of the time, you work hard for nothing and no-one sees or they don't give a damn No you don't, need the validation just scratch the surface then you'll know exactly where you are... It's here, and you're alone and it's OK. You're doing nothing wrong open it up, what are you waiting for? just skip the first step, take it straight to the next. It will always be a solitary business, but at least it gives you some peace of mind It's here, and you're alone and it's OK. you're doing nothing wrong ...

It was night in the city I was only a kid I just wanted to impress her Well of course I did She took me out dancing I was doing my best I couldn’t help thinking This must be a test Is it Jerry Springer or the CIA Should I be running for cover Or should I just dance the night away You’ve got me looking for gold I’ve lost control of my soul She took me to a party Introduced me as her bother But that didn’t seem to stop her Or one thing leading to another Of course I could not believe it Where’s you’re iPhone when you need it This was turning into one of those stories I probably just made up When I finally went to leave She kissed me on both cheeks It was a pleasure to meet you Little brother of mine Why don’t you come back And see me again sometime It was just another crazy night In the city of light

Keys To The City (Xavier Boyer /Xavier Boyer, Médéric Gontier, Sylvain Marchand & Pedro Resende) I've got a thing to do And I know it's gonna hurt you I'm sure it will cost me too But I'm willing to pay my dues Red blood in vessels of blue It's hard to believe but true I've got a thing to do I hope it will get me through Chorus: Come on now let's leave this party We don't care what they do or say I'll never get the keys to the city I'm only staying for one day Hold your ground, don't ever look down Stare 'em straight in the eye I'll never get the keys to the city I don't care I'm only passing by I've got a thing to do I'm afraid I'll miss my cue You only get a second or two Tell me now what would you do? Red blood in vessels of blue It's the truth, it's nothing new I don't want to make you blue It's something I have to do Chorus Tomorrow I'll be far away I'm only staying for one day I'll never get the keys to the city I've got a thing to do And I know it's gonna hurt you I'm sure it will cost me too But I'm willing to pay my dues Red blood in vessels of blue It's hard to believe but true I've got a thing to do

Cool Down 03:54
I must go up top, cool down 'cause i'm soooo tired And I like to change I love a rough soak, cool down It's such a good time I'll turn into a city if you want me to I'm a rock but I turn into a sponge when it's raining I'm a palace, i'm a crappy flat, you don't stand a chance I'm a shark and a kitty, a kangaroo, a puppy Chorus: I try a little little, I cry a little little  I fry a little little, I try a little little I die a little little, I fly a little little I cry a little little , I cry a little little more ... I've got my gauges all going into the red I need to cool down My batteries are running low and soon they'll be dead I need to cool down Chorus Cool down Sweetie, I don't mean maybe....
