A big brown paper coffee cup My suitcase in the other trunk I said we're going to the city Oh, I wanna see the lights I saw them from the other side Shining in the proper sky Bringing hope to the elders And daylight to the blind Oh, street lights Street lights They'll never stop shining bright Oh, street lights Street lights Dancing envailed like my heart Walking down Christopher Street The grounds wake below my feet I'm a stranger between strangers And now that dream begins to fall Same fears and different hopes A just moment to a bigger box A box that's full of colors Of sorry's left to rot Oh, street lights Street lights They'll never stop shining bright Oh, street lights Street lights Dancing envailed like my heart
