lyrics

Under The City Lights

Scattered pairs in the evening glare
And they circle by in the open square
And only two aren't in black and white
They're a work of art
Bodies intercepting light

Nothing new as it's always been
When you see the truth from the outside in
As eventide throws its weight around
Traffic signals know they'll be flashing all night long

But tonight
Under the city lights
We're both here sitting feeling alright
Under the city lights
Both of us feeling pretty alright

Metal trees and cement grass
Blowing plastic leaves around the brick and glass
And only two are not scenery
Everything they do is always meant to be

And tonight
Under the city lights
We're both here sitting feeling alright
Under the city lights
Both of us feeling pretty alright

And if you're hearing voices, I'll be there
And if you're hearing screams, don't be scared

'Cause tonight
Under the city lights
Nobody's getting on the inside
Under the city lights
Both of us feeling pretty alright
