City Lights Lou Reed

[Verse]
Don't these city lights light 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

[Bridge 1]
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 own request
Things weren't quite the same after he came here

[Verse]
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

[Bridge 2]
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
When he left us, his humor left forever

[Instrumental Verse]
