See the traffic passing by
there's no stars up in the sky
Its late at night and I'm alone again

Piece of paper in the street
plays the part of what I'll be
crumpled elegance blowin' in the wind

City Nights so full of beauty
all the junkies wand'ring round
City Nights are shooting through me
city dogs gonna drag me down

evry corners got somebody
there's always something happening
the latest things fading out of sight

City Nights are going places
run right into those traffic jams
City nights are full of faces
Desperate, dazed, dirty and d___ed

Empty buildings, empty plots
aren't as empty as they seem at first
Full of empty things and empty people
discarded by those who used them
discarded by those who abused them
discarded by those who refused them

City Nights so full of beauty
watch the players doing their thang
City Nights ain't got a use for
anyone who seems too strange

City Nights are going places
Stay away from Lover's Lane
City Nights are full of darkness
cause too much light
reveals the pain
