City Lights

Gary U.S. Bonds, Laurie C. Anderson

[Verse 1]
He and Debby got married in June
They flew away to Mexico to spend their honeymoon
Smokin’ good weed and enjoyin’ the sight
They swore they were never comin’ back
He got a job in a roadside café
And things started good, man, and got worse day-by-day!
The dreams they had slowly came to an end
So now they’re comin’ home again (Woah!)

[Chorus]
Everybody has a fantasy of running off to build their dreams and
Sometimes dreams just don’t come true (Yah!)
Run away and you might be greater, but there’s no way you can’t forget it when
City lights keep calling you

[Verse 2]
Oh yes, I think we’ll all agree
The greatest thing we have is a world of fantasy
You can be anything you want to be
And do anything you like, and have everything you need
But there’s one thing you must remember my friend
Those Kona dreams you have will someday have to end
When you like in a fairytale, everything seems right
But one day you’ve got to stop and face those city lights

[Saxophone Solo]
(Woah!)

[Chorus]
Everybody has a fantasy of
Running off to build their dreams and
Sometimes dreams just don’t come true (Yah!)
Run away and you might be greater, but
There’s no way you can’t forget it when
City lights keep calling you (Woah!)

Everybody has a fantasy of
Running off to build their dreams and
Sometimes dreams just don’t come true (Oh, no, yah, yah)
Run away and you might be greater, but
There’s no way you can’t forget it when
City lights keep calling you (Oh no, no)

[Outro]
City lights keep calling you (They keep on callin’)
City lights keep calling you (They keep on callin’)
City lights keep calling you (Oh, no, no, no, no)
City lights keep calling you (Keep on, keep on, callin’ city lights!)
City lights keep calling you (Oh, no, no, no, no)
City lights keep calling you (Yah, yah, yah!)
City lights keep calling you (Keep on, keep on, keep on callin’)
City lights keep calling you (They just keep on, keep on calling you!)
City lights keep calling you (Oh, no, no, no, no)
