Darkness blankets the Earth, br Streetlights start to glow. br It's nighttime announcing birth, br And to sustain the status quo. br br Multi-colored neon signs, br Scream out their words to the night. br Like different colored ancient wines, br That to behold are a delight. br br The children of the night arrive, br Amid the glow of the neon lights. br Like busy bees around a hive, br Performing timeless ancient rites. br br The world comes to life at night, br The streets overflowing in human flesh. br And underneath those neon lights, br Laughter and lipstick, and nylon mesh.
