"City Lights" lyrics - NILS LOFGREN

Don't these city lights bring these streets to life
Don't these crazy nights bring us together
Any rainy day you can dance your blues away
Don't these city lights bring us together

Charlie Chaplin's cane, well, it flicked away the rain
Things weren't quite the same after he came here
But then when he left upon our request
There was no humor left after he left here

Don't these city lights bring these streets to life
Don't these crazy nights bring us together
Any rainy day we can dance the blues away
And these city lights bring us together

We're supposed to be a land of liberty
And those city lights to blaze forever
But that little tramp leaning on that street corner lamp
He was banished and his humor left forever

Don't these city lights bring these streets to life
Don't these crazy nights bring us together
Charlie Chaplin's cane, well, it flicked away our pain
And his city lights brought us together

Dancing Charlie, we're so sorry
Thanks for your city lights
Brilliant Charlie, we're sorry
You brought us together (City lights)

We laughed together (City lights)
Love those city lights, blazing city lights
Charlie's city lights bring us together
(Love those city lights, blazing city lights)
Charlie's city lights bring us together
Love those city lights...
