City Lights

(album: Doves In Glass Houses - 2020)

She took a midnight train to LA to escape from Georgia
She wants to find a rockstar boyfriend someone to afford her
She's got to hope, hope, hope, hope for her ride or die
But all her friends say she's crazy she's living a lie
Living a lie

Oh I can see you falling
You're on your knees you're crawling
But the city lights still spell the words
Oh yeah
You're on top of the world
You're on top of the world
Oh yeah
You're on top of the world

She drank whiskey to numb the pain to make it alright
She wants to find a crystal ball to see the spotlight all the time
She's got to hope, hope, hope, hope for her ride or die
But all her friends say she's crazy she's living a lie
There's nowhere to hide

Oh I can see you falling
You're on your knees you're crawling
But the city lights still spell the words
Oh yeah
You're on top of the world
You're on top of the world
Oh yeah
You're on top of the world

Whoa, oh oh oh she smells the roses
Whoa, oh oh oh she swears she knows it

Oh I can see you falling
You're on your knees you're crawling
But the city lights still spell the words
Oh yeah
You're on top of the world
You're on top of the world
Oh yeah
You're on top of the world
