City Of Lights

U2 - City Of Blinding Lights

Album: How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb





The more you see the less you know

The less you find out as you grow

I knew much more then than I do now

Neon heart, day-glow eyes

The city lit by fireflies

They're advertising in the skies

And people like us


And I miss you when you're not around


I'm getting ready to leave the ground




Ooh ooh ooh


Oh you look so beautiful tonight...



In the city of blinding lights

Don't think before you laugh

Look ugly in a photograph

Flash bulbs, purple irises the camera can't see

I've seen you walk unafraid

I've seen you in the clothes you've made

Can you see the beauty inside of me?

What happened to the beauty I had inside of me?

Time, time, time...

Won't leave me as I am

But time won't take the boy out of this man



O
