MOTIF (x2)
VERSE ONE
=========
You know the A5street where I D5live nestles B5five miles from D5town
I go A5walking at D5night, guiB5ded by the crowd
That G#5sits on the A5buildings, D5craning from a B5height
C#*
Take me out, take me out to see those city lights
MOTIF
VERSE TWO
=========
You can treat me like garbage, reject my staring so graphic
That leach your attention on the just pyschopath
And there ain't no Lothario on the sly
C#* D5
I walk in a dream, with those city lights
BRIDGE ONE
==========
I A5know you can see through each line that I use
PATTERN ONE
So I'll polax the syntax and rhyme (??)
But the A5trams in the neon sway to a torch song (??)
But B5sunset I'm alive

MOTIF (x2)
VERSE THREE
===========
I just need to know somewhere there's drugs and some kissin
Romance and rock band and something I'm missing
And don't wanna be anywhere but on the edge
C#* D5
Of the river with you and those damn city lights
BRIDGE TWO
==========
A5Ooh
PATTERN ONE
A5Ooh

LINK TWO
========
PATTERN TWO
VERSE FOUR
==========
You know the street where I live nestles five miles from town
And it just don't swing unless you're 'round
So I walk to the water and dream with your smile
Just you and me, just you and me and our city lights
