I waited up all night for you, I came in from out of town for you / Though I never really talked to you, did you ever think I care.

Tonight we pretend that we never got older / That the romantic in all of us never got colder.

Metropolis had Superman, Gotham City Batman / And Jerusalem had me.

A depiction of Independence Day revelry in Jerusalem, c. 1980s.

Everyone is a total stranger / I hope I see a familiar face.

The streets of the city come alive tonight / The Old City walls shine golden tonight.

Every kid dreams of gettin’ out one day / And I’ve been dreamin’ of stealin’ away

She has an air of mystery about her, but there’s no way that you can live without her.

Won’t you please release me / Won’t you please help me / Won’t you please free me / From this restlessness ...

I’m what you call a rock’n’roll bastard ... you either love me or you hate me.

I sang the pain and anguish of the city / I sang melodies of hope and despair / I sang all at once of the ugliness and beauty ...

Well I believe with a full belief / That The Messiah will put in an appearance soon ...

Oooooooh all right / The streets of the city come alive tonight / Oooooooh all right / The Old City walls shine golden tonight

Atonement’s over it’s Saturday night, the hard heavy day is over

Well riding these buses is like riding a surfboard / Don’t hold on tight and you’ll get thrown overboard

We gotta celebrate our last days of freedom /Make the best of them before they're gone

No one seems to remember the way it used to be / Looks like everybody’s new here but the old chevra and me
