City Lights 04:23
So now the sun sets down on America across her hundred sprawling timezones Do you got a place to sleep tonight are you sleeping there alone? Lay down and don't you worry when the daylight's in retreat, we'll make our way into the darkness, bring this city to her knees I can't paint a portrait of her streets cuz I can't see Just how they live in the balances of a million different things Trade your hours trade your pay trade your name and trade your age But when the daylight loosens up her vice You and me, darling, we're going dancing under them city lights Things been looking good for you, doll, they ain't been looking good for me I started off with good intentions but the fires I lit, they caught to other things I got blood on my hands on this guitar his blood and mine both at the scene Blood running down the steering wheel in the ignition on the keys But I'm pulling up on state street, before I leave there's just this one thing to go down tonight You and me, darling, are going dancing under them city lights Your folks are staying in You'd get awful tired after fifty years out in them midwest winter winds Working all day into the night working for their whole damn lives To keep that furnace blowing to keep your dreams alive But at night Under the calm cool darkness of the night They're dancing to that Memphis soul Sliding across that kitchen floor Even their gods get down to rock n roll Take their time all sweet and slow Sweaty asses smacking up against heaven's pearly walls You can hear it if you listen in the night So tonight You and me, darling, are going dancing under them city lights So the sun sets down on American and makes room for our desire So I lit a little fire, caught to this river and these tires When the morning breaks it could mean the end of you and me, yours and mine So tonight You and me, darling, are going dancing under them city lights
