Analysis of City Lights
On bustling friday nights
The blazing neon lights
Cast shadows on the wall
Junkies,misfits,and hookers
The colors show them all
Pacing back and forth
Waiting for the curtain call
So the can release their pain
Flying high until they fall
Chasing an eternal glow
Dressed up like a rag doll
Living life for the minute
There is no gown and ball
Just a tombstone waiting,
With a casket to install !
