A bright aray of city lights as far as I can see,
The great white wave shines through the night for lonely guys like me.
The caberays and honky tonks there flashing signs invite,
A broken heart to lose itself in the glow of city lights.
Lights that say forget her name and a glass of cherri wine,
Lights that offer other girls for empty hearts like mine.
They paint a pretty picture of a world thats gay and brite,
But it's just a mask for loneliness behind those city lights.
The world was dark and god made stars to brighten up the night,
But god who put the stars above I don't believe made those lights.
For it's just a place for men to cry when things don't turn out right.
Just a place to run away and hide behind those city lights.
Lights that say forget her love in a diffrent atmosphere,
Lights that lure are nothing but a maskeray for tears.
They paint a pretty picture but my arms can't hold her tight,
And I just can't say I love to a street of city lights.
