All The Lights In The City

In the halcyon days in the twilight of empire

It is morning in the city as real as anyone

So now you want to move down south

When we just got the house all figured out

Shoes all by the door, table on the floor, windows on the wall

And the lead paint cracks are breathing in and out

Listening only to reason will let you down

All the lights in the city make my head go dim

All the lights in the city make my head go dim

What you're mad about's not the weather, it's what I've done to you

Walls are closing in, talking over the tv's making us both loud

And the planes fly boustrophedon in and out

In the colors of the season it wears you down

All the lights in the city make my head go dim

All the lights in the city make my head go dim

It is morning over Lake Michigan on my right side, honey

Maybe working is what makes us live, or maybe it's living

Sky is always hanging blue above the cloud

But the path of no resistance will wear you out

All the lights in the city make my head go dim

All the lights in the city make my head go dim

All the lights in the city

All the lights in the city make my head go dim
