City Lights

The movie just got out, in the lobby crowds will mill about
Waiting for a ride, shivering inside
I think I'll hoof it home, through the narrow streets I want to roam
Past the girlie bars, this tired road has scars but I like it just that way

And those old city lights keep calling out to me
Like a beacon shining 'cross the sea
I love those city lights, twinkle little stars
Warm the nights and heal my scars

Pull my coat up tight, this Arctic chill will kill the warmest night
Should I help the man with the outstretched hand
Stopping in at Sam's, falling for the babe on "Empty Glass"
I know she waits for me to rescue her from Pete and those other guys

And those old city lights keep calling out to me
Like a beacon shining 'cross the sea
I love those city lights, twinkle little stars
Warm the nights and heal my scars

There's so much going down, stuff like this don't happen in a town
Like where I come from, everybody's numb
Was that another day? Maybe I should sleep them all away
'Cause I live for the nights and those city lights that will always beckon me

And those old city lights keep calling out to me
Like a beacon shining 'cross the sea
I love those city lights, twinkle little stars
Warm the nights and heal my scars
I love those city lights, they're calling out to me
Like a beacon shining 'cross the sea
I love those city lights, twinkle little stars
Warm the nights and heal my scars

I love those city lights, I love those city lights
I love those city lights, I love those city lights
I love those city lights, I love those city lights
I love those city lights, I love those city lights
