City Light / Second Avenue Lyrics by The Lost Shores

Music for Highways and Bedrooms

2013

"City Light"
The impulse is pure
But the nights are not
Standing on the summer floor
And that's all I got
You know all the pretty girls
All the city ones
All the pretty girls
Run
Standing in the pouring rain
In my broken shoes
I know it's a lie
But you've gotta choose
Between all the pretty girls
All the skinny ones
All the pretty girls
Run
Standing out in the cardboard night
I've got nothing but city light!
Standing out in the cardboard night
I've got nothing but city light!
Standing out in the cardboard night
I've got nothing by city light!
Standing out in the cardboard night
I've got nothing but cities
You know all the pretty girls
All the city ones
All the pretty girls
Run
"Second Avenue"
Late at night i'm a car on fire
Second avenue is a funeral
Wire spills outsides from the sun where the snow laid down
And I drove my car on a friday night
Just to see if I could
Just to see if I might find somewhere to hide from all the light
Where they're singing:
"late at night I'm gone!
Late at night I'm gone!
Late at night I'm gone!
Late at night I'm gone!"
Well, I don't wanna die when I'm young
I wanna burn like the sun
I wanna see the world
I wanna see everyone
I wanna see the sidewalks when they're full of love
I'm gonna walk around
Gonna walk downtown
I wanna see my friends
Wanna see their frowns
Gonna try to turn it all right and upside down
And I'll see what I'll never get again
What I'll never get again
What I'll never get again
What I'll never get again
Oh, I'll never get again
What I'll never get again
What I'll never get again
What I'll never get again
O-oh!
O-oh!
O-oh!
O-oh-oh!
Late at night I'm gone
Late at night I'm gone
