Blindside - City Lights lyrics

I took a walk down 4th avenue when I saw it

A red line in the concrete

Leading somewhere out of sight

Something compelled me to stop

So I jumped over the fence

Started following from what appeared to be

The trail of a leaking tin can

Leading into the alley away from the light

Now this is what needs to be done

Blacklight shining in the dark

Brings out brightness more than in the sun

Do I dare to stay

Cause somehow I want to

Trade love for the city lights

You chose me to stay

Trade light for the city love

You chose me to stay

So now what if I continue this walk

The red line is taking me down trashcans lonely street

Yes the streets have neames but the people don't

Or are they forgotten

And I'm starting to smell something beautiful

Though these streets are rotten

Trade love for the city lights

You chose me to stay

Trade light for the city love
