Lights In the Metropolis

As citizens cross wide boulevards city lights dance on the pavement Ethereal landscape created by the shining lights speak to us in their own special language Doesn't seem quite right All those glowing bulbs changing peaceful darkness inot a garish, illuminated landscape But after a few years city dwellers know the scene You see - they live here in this turbulent metropolis where yearning hearts have come from many lands to prosper here If you don't lose your head here You'll find a slice of the urban pie is waiting for you on the shores of this temple to human ingenuity You'll feel much better after you partake of the gritty flavor the city has to offer
