The city lights they shine so bright

but there's a darkness in my heart tonight
The streets are filth, filled with pimps and broken
hearted
At the break of dawn you can tell by the signs
All about that happened last night
...The needles, broken bottles, condoms and signs of blood


You see that old man in the corner he already gave up
He's too tired to beg, too tired to start from a scratch.
And I'm stranded here with empty hands,
looking at the moon my long lost friend.

So close your window it's gonna be cold tonight
turn off the TV there's enough violence outside
light up a candle a candle for the broken hearts  

The city lights they shine so bright
this parade outside is just a waste of time
