Bright Lights

White chalk melting into The ground where we stood And felt the dust turn in our eyes The sun strips this city bare Stars pale here, and there's The tallest building in the world We're just passing through this place All our punches go to waste Watch the hours go down the drain 20 floors, we're up in space Speeding cars keep me awake They don't seem to trouble you Bolt down the doors Close the shutters, hold me close All the bright lights left me cold As the night turns into day Everything falls into place Yet I dream of nothing Looking out, it's all the same Cities hung on swinging cranes I watch them float away Bolt down the doors Close the shutters, hold me close All the bright lights left me cold Bolt down the doors Close the shutters, hold me close All the bright lights left me cold
