City Lights

I took a walk down the 4th avenue when I saw it
A red line in the grey concrete
Leading somewhere out of sight

Something compelled me to stop
So I jumped over the fence
and started following what appeared to be
The trail of a leaking tin can
Leading away from the light

Now is this what needs to be done?
Black light shining in the dark
Brings out brightness more than in the sun

Trade love for the city lights
Tonight, you chose me to stay
Trade light for the city love
Tonight you chose me to stay

So what if I continue this walk
The red line is taking me down trashcan lonely street
Yes the streets have names but the people don't
Or are they forgotten
And I'm starting to smell something beautiful
Though these streets are rotten

Now is this what needs to be done?
Black light shining in the dark
Brings out brightness more than in the sun

Trade love for the city lights
Tonight, you chose me to stay
Trade light for the city love
Tonight you chose me to stay

Trade love...
