city lights

you know the street where i live nestles five miles from town

i go walking at night

guided by the crown

that sits on the buildings

craning from high

take me out

take me out to see those city lights

you can treat me like garbage

reject my staring so graphic

that needs your attention

or the just psychopathic

and there ain't no lothario on the sly

i walk in a dream

with those city lights

i know you can see through each line that i use

so i'll poleaxe the syntax and rhyme

the trams in the neon sway to a torch song

at sunset

and i'm alive

i just need to know somewhere there's drunks and some kissin'

romance and rock band

but something i'm missing

and i don't wanna be anywhere but on the edge

of the river with you and those damn city lights

you know the street where i live nestles five miles from town

and it just don't swing unless you're 'round

so i walk to the water and dream with your smile

just you and me

just you and me

and our city lights
