Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Scraped chrome knees on the concrete
Neon rain washes the blood away
Staring up at the megabuildings
Momma says I'll never make it
[Pre-Chorus]
But I got razorwire in my veins
And a chip slot that's still empty
[Chorus]
One day I'll carve my name
Into this steel and glass city
Run with the legends underground
Night City kid with nothing to lose
[Verse 2]
Augmented eyes in the market
Watching eddies change hands
I stole a pistol from a scav
Cleaned it with my own shirt
[Pre-Chorus]
Fingers twitch when I hear the sirens
Someday I'll be the one they're running from
[Chorus]
One day I'll carve my name
Into this steel and glass city
Run with the legends underground
Night City kid with nothing to lose
[Bridge]
Mama cries by the radiator
Says the streets eat kids like me
But I've seen the Afterlife through the window
Seen the smiles on the dead men's faces
[Breakdown]
Gotta be faster
Gotta be stronger
Gotta be colder
Than the steel around me
[Chorus]
One day I'll carve my name
Into this steel and glass city
Run with the legends underground
Night City kid with nothing to lose
