Stay On
(2014)
I know, when the night
Falls on the city,
All things around us
Start lookin' pretty.
Night clubs and cocktails
Luring with neon,
Taxies like Christmas- (trees)
Fetching and glowin'.
Late night TV news
Are not so tragic,
And in the dark you're
Makin' the magic.
But tonight
Let the light
Stay on.
I know, when sunlight
Out of the city,
All things around me
Start lookin' pity.
Beer cans and maniacs
Hiding in shadows,
Police car like fire- (fly)
Buzzing and flickers.
I heard 'bout monsters
And I let them be -
I'm not afraid of
What I can not see.
But tonight
Let the light
Stay on
I know, when your sight
Falls on night city,
All things around you
Start lookin' cheapie.
Street girls and junkies
Selling, then buying,
Blind man on the cross- (road)
Waiting and cryin'.
Preacher with dead gaze
Heralds the nigh end.
Night creeps upon, you're
Missing your best friend.
So this night
Let the light
Stay on
Please tonight
Let the light...
