City lights, shine so bright, all over his town
As many years as it would seem he'd been around
You hoped that you were underground
The local press had barely found you out
The darlings of the paper are
The ones who never really made it out, and you know
It gets cold when the summer comes
It gets cold when the summer comes
City lights, shine so bright, all over his town
As many years as it would seem he'd been around
Are you the one to make me sing
With city lights that don't inspire anything
Did you know that you were through
I couldn't wait to say goodbye to you, and you know
It gets cold when the summer comes
It gets cold when the summer comes
City lights shine so bright all over my town
