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
