Blindside Album: The Great Depression Track: City Lights
City Lights Lyrics
I took a walk down 4th avenue when I saw it A red line in the concrete Leading somewhere out of sight
Something compelled me to stop So I jumped over the fence Started following from what appeared to be The trail of a leaking tin can Leading into the alley away from the light
Now this is what needs to be done Blacklight shining in the dark Brings out the brightness more than in the sun Do I dare to stay Cause somehow I want to
Trade love for the city lights You chose me to stay Trade light for the city love You chose me to stay
So now what if I continue this walk The red line is taking me down trashcan lonely streets Yes the streets have names but the people don't Or are they forgotten And I'm starting to smell something beautiful Though these streets are rotten
Trade love for the city lights You chose me to stay Trade light for the city love You chose me to stay
Song Description: 'Spending life in clubs, you see so much in the dark, under a blacklight. But a backlight will show you nothing in the sun.' - Christian Lindskog (Blindside)
