These City Lights
Paint this skyline shades of neon blue
And pierce the dark with glowing crimson hues
Electrify this nighttime sky and
Radiate these spectral lights in
Controlled beauty
The constant glare from
These city lights makes me restless
If I sleep tonight well tell me
Will there be a tomorrow?
Stars shoot through these streets in sets of two
As streetlamps buzz their soft fluorescent tunes
Synthesize this gilded bliss and
Flip the switch on artifice in
Controlled beauty
Once again darkness is split by the clustered halos of streetlights
And dawn is the only escape from the blinding brilliance of these nights
Come with me as we descend once again into one more,
Into one more city evening…
