[Verse 1] Early mornings Cool damp air City lights reflecting On the river there Autumn fires On the breeze Pigeons flock by Over waking streets [Pre-Chorus] And the morning sun rises Slow but sure Every window glows Golden and pure [Chorus] Big smoke You never sleep Big smoke You touch me deep River on my left Smoke in the air Big smoke Alive right here [Verse 2] Trains rumble in the deep Like a low-down prayer Street hustlers prowl without any care Market stalls Selling various wares Abbey bells ring Taxis looking for fares [Pre-Chorus] And the day brightens Slow but sure Every window glows Golden and pure [Chorus] Big smoke You never sleep Big smoke You touch me deep River on my left Smoke in the air Big smoke Alive right here [Bridge] See that gold On the waterline Morning breaks This city is mine [Chorus] Big smoke You never sleep Big smoke You touch me deep River on my left Smoke in the air Big smoke Alive right here Smoke in the air Big smoke Alive right here
