City of Lights

I've seen them city candles
That burn so bright and hot
I've watched those little tin soldiers
Giving up all they've got

And I woke up from a six-day dream
Sights and visions like you won't believe
And I met a man with bones on his back
He said, 'Can't win your war unless you shake the devil's hand'

So what's it gonna be?
(So what's it gonna be?)
So what's it gonna be?
(So what's it gonna be?)

Well, if nothing's gonna change this old world
I'm packing up to go
I built this paper plane
I'm riding it back home
To the city of lights
To the city of lights

You worked it out so slowly
It's rolled around a thousand times
It's either hell or high water
And I ain't got the time to decide

And I woke up from an eight-day haze
Sights and visions that your mind can't erase
And I met a man who told me the truth
He said, 'If you don't fix your hearts, then there ain't nothing left to do'

So what's it gonna be?
(So what's it gonna be?)
So what's it gonna be?
(So what's it gonna be?)

Well, if nothing's gonna change this old world
I'm packing up to go
I built this paper plane
I'm riding it back home
To the city of lights
To the city of lights

Oh, and with one eye facing summer
And love for one another
Won't you fly away with me
Won't you fly away with me

It's all a game, and I ain't talking Red Rover
So flip it over just like crimson and clover
Don't wait on no masters, don't bow to no kings
'Cause if the city light a-comin' then it don't mean a thing
Nah, nah

No, it don't mean a thing
Unless you shine
Unless you shine
(Her eyes, oh how they shine, shine, shine)
(Her eyes, oh how they shine, shine, shine)
(Her eyes, oh how they shine, shine, shine)
(Her eyes, oh how they shine, shine, shine)
(Her eyes, oh how they shine, shine, shine)
(Her eyes, oh how they shine, shine, shine)
(Her eyes, oh how they shine, shine, shine)
(Her eyes, oh how they shine, shine, shine)
