the lights of the city shine bright in the car wheels the girls look pretty with bare legs and high heels the knives and the guns are prepared for the drug deals as the sun goes down in my town the drunk takes a hit from his first since nightfall the pimp on the corner counts every curb crawl the cops in their cars sit and wait for that first call as the sun goes down in my town the darkness reaches out and takes my hand again as the memories of the day all fade away and the neon lights are smiles like an old friend the sirens start to sing dragging me in i shout see you later and head for the west bound the tube escalator is slow so i run down the night has secrets waiting to be found as the sun goes down in my town the darkness reaches out and takes my hand again as the memories of the day all fade away and the neon lights are smiles like an old friend the sirens start to sing dragging me in i shout see you later and head for the west bound the tube escalator is slow so i run down the night has secrets waiting to be found as the sun goes down in my town
