The city lights tempt me

It demands my attention

It was beneath the neon, I found you

Darkness, unspoiled by the brightest illumination

A warning that god is neither good nor bad, for he simply is, just

Thus, I harness the opportunity to love you

And with each smile, desperation grew into what I'm afraid to be true

I've held onto nothing but naive aspiration

A dreamer, destroyed by his own contemplation

A man left with another lesson

So I called upon the lord of the city lights

I begged him to let me in

Another stream of wine is my price

I admit I owe you my gratitude, woman

It was within you I found my salvation

So I raised my cup to one final notion

There is no love beneath the neon
