City Lights
Mirror Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh when the lights went off in New York City you were bound to find a friend
Who was about to steal a violin from the man who goes with the trend
And now the people just stand around waiting for the end
'Cos when the lights go off in New York City huh the girls go 'round the bend
And now we think of the president in the White House full of fraud
You know they treat him like a second king, you know they treat him like the Lord

Oh when the lights went off in New York City, the band began to play
To stop the girl in purple knickers from entering the fray
And Andy Warhol's painting stands in Manhattan Square today
'Cos when the lights go off in New York City, the girls all run away
So we think of the president fighting for the race
You know he's trying to find his freedom now, you know he's trying to find his face

When the lights went off in New York City the people scurried 'round
Some were trying to hit the top, some went underground
And now that there is no one left to inform you of the sound
One that the shotguns made in New York City while the people stood and drowned
Again we think of the president in the White House full of fear
How he's trying to make his position felt, how he never shed a tear

The lights went off in New York City
The lights went off in New York City




The lights went off in New York City
The lights went off
