Gaslights, They are burning in the dark
Giving false sensations of warmth
Silence, Reigning in the cold
Nothing's changed in this place I call my home
City lights, blazing in the dead of night
They throw me back to a place where I've never been
And old life, filled with dreams that never thrive
Just a strange imagination full of lies
On tarmac, is where we crawled and played
Children free of sorrow and fear
Allegories, of innocence in the dirt
And I still hear the laughter from those years
Anyway, they parted here and went astray
Leaving not a trace, nor any signs
And here I stray, staring down the alleyway
Only got my clouded thoughts to hide
It's all that I wanted
I've never been away for long
Cause every time it draws me back again
Streets of gold
I don't wanna walk them anymore
A force that chains me there will keep me anyway
Streets of gold
I don't wanna feel them anymore
I know that I need it, it'll always stay the same
City lights, will forever be the flame of life
Burning 'til my eyesight fades away
And the light once bright, getting weaker in the cold of the night
Turn it to smoke and let it fly away!
Neon cuts the scene of dust and broken dreams
Like a glass shard in the vein
Will I ever see that dawn again?
Streets of gold
I don't wanna walk them anymore
A force that chains me there will keep me anyway
Streets of gold
I don't wanna feel them anymore
I know that I need it, it'll always stay the same
Streets of gold
I know that I need it, it'll always stay this way
Burning in the dark
City lights, blazing
City lights!
No, no!
Where do I find it?
Blazing in the dead of night
