Neon flickers with a pale glow
|
And all the shadows that come and go
|
Sometimes I can hear them laugh and cry
|
In my lonely room with a view
|
I can't sleep and so I think of you
|
And watch the world as it passes by
|
|
I can't close my eyes
|
I can't close my eyes
|
|
Chorus:
|
This is my window to the world
|
All of the loney boys and girls
|
Are a reflection in my eyes
|
Of me and you
|
This is my window to it all
|
I see the heroes rise and fall
|
This is my window to the world
|
And I can see
|
|
As the night turns into day
|
Old ladies shuffle by and wave
|
And the kids sell drugs to cars that slowly cruise
|
Young lovers walk across my street
|
Oblivious to the refugees
|
And the lonely lost baby, that's me and you
|
|
I can't close my eyes
|
I can't close my eyes
|
|
Chorus
|
