City Lights Paroles

I wander lost alone on a Saturday night

I pass the Stalinist flats, I pass the Marxist punks

I pass the anarchist graffiti and although I'm drunk

My mind is clear, my heart's alive

I've been through this before and I know that I'll survive

I don't need your eyes, I've got the city lights

Electric lifeblood flowing through these concrete veins

And I don't need your truths

I've got one of my own...

Walking around in circles and I'm laughing at the night
The house we built collapsed, that's why I'm singing here today

And now I'm heading down to Simon-Dach, turn right up by the lights

Following the train tracks leading deep into the night

Dancing in the gutter, playing football with a stone

Turn left down by the bridge and then I take the long way home

I don't need your eyes, I've got the city lights

Electric lifeblood flowing through these concrete veins

And I don't need your words

I've got some of my own

Cold dark river keeps on flowing

I watch it from the bridge above

The moon's just another light that's glowing

On this heap of concrete that I love

I don't need your eyes, I don't need you
