City Lights

歌詞

The city lights up like a cigarette The moon's a broken heart and the stars are set Like peep-holes in an empty sky I wander lost alone on a Saturday night I pass the Stalinist flats, I pass the Marxist punks I pass the anarchist graffiti and although I'm drunk My mind is clear, my heart's alive I've been through this before and I know that I'll survive I don't need your eyes, I've got the city lights Electric lifeblood flowing through these concrete veins And I don't need your truths I've got one of my own... Walking around in circles and I'm laughing at the night You always said I was a psycho, I'm just trying to prove you right And so the cards were stacked, I had no hand to play The house we built collapsed, that's why I'm singing here today And now I'm heading down to Simon-Dach, turn right up by the lights Following the train tracks leading deep into the night Dancing in the gutter, playing football with a stone Turn left down by the bridge and then I take the long way home I don't need your eyes, I've got the city lights Electric lifeblood flowing through these concrete veins And I don't need your words I've got some of my own Cold dark river keeps on flowing I watch it from the bridge above The moon's just another light that's glowing On this heap of concrete that I love I don't need your eyes, I don't need you
