Lou Reed City Lights song lyrics

Don't these city lights light these streets to life

All 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 own request

Things weren't quite the same, after he came here

Don't these city lights bring the streets to life

All these crazy nights bring us together

Any rainy day you can dance your blues away

Don't 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, ooh, on that street corner lamp

When he left us, it's humor left for ever

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, it's humor left for ever

Don't these city lights bring the streets to life

All these crazy nights bring us together

Any rainy day you can dance your blues away

Don't these city lights bring us together
