City Lights

(album: Pretty Maids - 1983)

As the night turns everything black
Human fear'll come creeping back
Tear apart your desperate fright
But as a rescue; city light
Glimpse of neon hits your eyes
While you get beaten by violet guys
Sound of sirens though the night
But as a rescue; city light

If blood's the answer to darkness pain
No one will ever walk the streets again
Has told the cops about that dreadful night
But as a rescue; city light

Are you hurt some voices mutter
As your blood runs down the gutter
Someone saw a face through the night
But as a rescue; city light
Darkness melts before my eyes
As the last bit of witchcraft dies
Killed this nightmare to giant sighs
But as a rescue city light

If blood's the answer to darkness pain
No one will ever walk the streets again
Has told the cops about that dreadful night
But as a rescue; city light

As the morning reaches a point of greed
Voices of horror reject my plea
A giant explosion of human fright
But as a rescue; city light
Had it all been a game in my mind
A search for thrills that you cannot find
How much more can you stand these nights
But as a rescue; city light

If blood's the answer to darkness pain
No one will ever walk the streets again
Has told the cops about that dreadful night
But as a rescue; city light
