Oh this twinkling city.
“Come on over --
We have the night life.”
My car is two blocks away, just past,
just past these neon lights now.
Just past these long-legged, bustiered signs.
Come here missy, come in.
Come on, hon - you want to dance?
We need girls to dance.
Walk on, purse-clutching city woman.
Oh this dancing city
Oh this shattered city.

Oh this twinkling city.
“Come on over --
We have the night life.”
My car is two blocks away, just past,
just past these neon lights now.
Just past these long-legged, bustiered signs.
Come here missy, come in.
Come on, hon - you want to dance?
We need girls to dance.
Walk on, purse-clutching city woman.
Oh this dancing city
Oh this shattered city.
