Oh big city in the darkness
your lights are just a lie
The masses are asleep
and the rest are only up watching night pass by
The world is just a donut shop
or an all night corner store
with traffic lights and lighted signs
a couple of cars and nothing more
Take me into the sky
There's no good reason to be here
Have I been put on this pale blue earth
just to contemplate the dead of night?
contemplate the dead of night
Daylight brings that city sound
Cars and trucks have filled the streets
People looking out their windows
but they're staying in their seats
Soon I'll see them working hard
tryin' to make the hours pass
On the ground a drunken bum
is thanking the lord for what he has
So take me into the sky
There's nothing special to see here
Hey I've covered every inch of this dog ass town
and I've yet to see the so-called sights
I've yet to see the so-called sights
(solo)
Somewhere there's an evil crime
Somewhere there's a show of passion
Somewhere there's a random act
that in this city'll pass for action
The world is just a donut shop
Though the choices look so good when you enter,
one cruller and I lost my appetite
Now I'm biting that big hole in the center
So take me into the sky
There's no good season for me here
Somehow I got marooned on this matchbox island
by the shadows of the cold sunlight
by the shadows of the cold sunlight
