City Lights Lyrics

If our bodies work like we want them to
Let's put it all to rest
You can spend the night
We can light a fire
Watch our spirits burn

When I'm seeing you in darkened rooms
And in darkened halls of these city walls
But the city lights are out tonight
They're out tonight

And our greatest fears are not realised
Our greatest ideas are not realised

If our bodies work like they promised us
Let's put them to the test
We can spend the night lighting fires
Watch the city burn

'Cause I'm seeing you in darkened rooms
And in darkened halls of these city walls
But the city lights are out tonight
They're out tonight

We keep ourselves in mirrors
We get undressed but we never speak
The neon signs reflect the sound
Of a permanent heartbeat
So let's take this final photograph
A souvenir to the ones we love

We'll count to ten and back from three
From three to one, we'll click our heels
We'll become faded memories
Like all the Hollywood film stars
The city sidewalk's where they sleep
We'll become faded memories

And our greatest fears will be realised
Our greatest ideas will be realised
When our bodies work
