Night In The City

Light up, light up Light up your lazy blue eyes Moon's up nights up Taking the town by surprise Night time night time Day left an hour ago City light time Must you get ready so slow There are places to come from And places to go Night in the city looks pretty to me Night in the city looks fine Music comes spilling out into the street Colors go flashing in time Take off take off Take off your stay-at-home shoes Break off shake off Chase off those stay-at-home blues Stairway stairway Down to the crowds in the street They go their way Looking for faces to greet But we run on laughing with no one to meet Night in the city looks pretty to me Night in the city looks fine Music comes spilling out into the street Colors go waltzing in time --- Night in the City - Joni Mitchell
