Naked City

Smoke and mirrors
The illusion called the city
Sweat and tears
The sizzling, neon, gypsy

Fantasy, hot and hungry tease
A stigma in every direction
Kept from light and forced to fight
I stalk the night like a Barracuda

Destiny, what did you use to be?
One mask on the flashing totem
Missed a step and found yourself
Down the hole of the inferno

Fantasy, hot and hungry tease
A stigma in every direction
Kept from light and forced to fight
I stalk the night like a Barracuda

So fresh and clean, incandescent dream
Lipstick, brandy and eye sheen
What does it mean, rainbowed gasoline?
Sometimes I really like it

Kept from light and forced to fight
I'm secretly faithful to pleasure
Hungry nights in neon lights
I taste a rainbow of day-glow flavors

Idolize burning paradise
But the truth is in your complexion
Faces rife with the city life
A stigma in every direction

So fresh and clean, incandescent dream
Lipstick, brandy and eye sheen
What does it mean, rainbowed gasoline?
A stigma in every direction
