City Lights - Lou Reed

Don’t these city lights

Light these streets to life

Don’t these crazy nights

Bring us together

Any rainy day

You can dance those blues away

Don’t these city lights

Bring us together

Charlie Chaplin’s cane

Well it flicked away the rain

Things weren’t quite the same

After he came here

But then when he left

Upon our own request

Things weren’t quite the same

After he came here

Don’t these city lights

Bring the streets to life

Don’t these crazy nights

Bring us together

Any rainy day

You can dance those blues away

Don’t these city lights

Bring us together

We’re supposed to be

A land of liberty

And those city lights

To blaze forever

But that little tramp

Leaning on that street corner lamp

When he left us

His humor left forever

We’re supposed to be

A land of liberty

And those city lights

To blaze forever

But that little tramp

Leaning on that street corner lamp

When he left us

His humor left us forever, ever

Don’t these city lights

Bring the streets to life

Don’t these crazy nights

Bring us together

Any rainy day

You can dance those blues away

Don’t these city lights

Bring us together

Together
