You know the street where I live nestles five miles from town
I go walking at night, guided by the crown
That sits on the buildings, craning from high
Take me out, take me out to see those city lights

You can tr*** ** like garbage, reject my staring so graphic
That needs your attention or the just psychopathic
And there ain't no lothario on the sly
I walk in a dream with those city lights

I know you can see through each line that I use
So I'll poleaxes the syntax and rhyme
The trams in the neon sway to a torch song
At sunset and I'm alive

I just need to know somewhere there's drunks and some kissin'
Romance and rock band but something I'm missing
And I don't wanna be anywhere but on the edge
Of the river with you and those damn city lights

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
