These City Lights

Don't waste the darkness of the night,

go out and live in the gold

pooling

Down along the avenues we're tasting

all life has to offer for our

dreaming

I'm losing you

to the bore of office hours

schooled and numbed, the attractive package deal

they'll burn away whatever

was real

Don't waste your precious lifetime babe

come out and run with me in the dark

tonight

Through the shimmering city's eyes

and underneath the wings of

our youth

I'm losing you

to the lure of something safe

sterilised, anaesthetised and held

to suck the soul out

from the flesh child

Don't waste the urges in your soul

let them stand against unreal demands,

rebel

You know your time is yours to use now

it's time to stand and act upon the right

to revel

I'm losing you

to the pretty packaging

Life within the lines bound

tied, disabled, down

and you won't see it

Don't waste your precious life time, love,

come out and play with me in the dark

tonight

Down along the avenues we're tasting

all life has to offer for our

being
