City Lights Lyrics

Oo whoa!

Wait, what did he just say?

People work harder, most every day

There's those of us in gutters

Those on sorts of stages, baby

This city's streets shouldn't be lined with folks

These are the hearts, the hope!

Unlike 'upstanding' dopes like you, sir

Running some kind of hoax

C'mon man, don't fuck with my people!

Cause this is my block, these are my streets

This is my town and this is my city

We won't let no sycophantic, greedy, two-faced guy like you

Come here and corrupt the culture

No man, we won't let you take over

The fuck you thinking, we are New Yorkers

And we'll rise above your corporate torture

City lights ignite

They lead us home tonight

We protect our own

We protect our home

You'll be safe with us

'Cause New York City and I will provide

And I'll be here serving and protecting until the day I die

What did he just say?

No, what the fuck did you just say?

To the stars and to the faded dreams,

My domain has encountered many a strange thing

But with my, my spirit swift and my small token

Lift off! of these city streets and trust in my man Pete,

And know that, him? He is my people

Yes he is my people

'Cause this is his block, these are his streets

This is his power and this is his deity

And Nod won't let no sycophants go fuck with their people

Cause we'll channel our power from Voxes past

And for extra measure kick your ass

Into the pavement

Think of it as the city's payment

City lights ignite

These are the lights that welcome strangers home

They lead us home tonight

This neighborhood of dreamers taking in those who roam

We protect our own

Yes we do

We protect our home

You know it's true

You'll be safe with us

Maybe this city isn't better off with me looking the other way

I've loved and then I sure have lost

Would you take me, make me feel the same?

Liz, love, life looks to be leading back to you today,

And tomorrow, next week, next month

If I asked you, for the night, would you stay?

Would you stay?

'Cause New York City, Pete, and I will provide

And we'll be here serving and protecting until the day we die

Welcome all the dreamers to this beautiful skyline

And I'm here flying high in this city that is shared by Liz and I

What did he just say?

Oh my love…

Oh my city…

Ain't this swell?

Aren't you pretty?
