The more you see the less you know The less you find out as you go I knew much more then than I do now Neon heart dayglo eyes A city lit by fireflies They're advertising in the skies For people like us And I miss you when you're not around I'm getting ready to leave the ground Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh Oh you look so beautiful tonight In the city of blinding lights Don't look before you laugh Look ugly in a photograph Flash bulbs, purple irises The camera can't see I've seen you unafraid I've seen you in the clothes you made Can you see the beauty inside of me? What happened to the beauty I had inside of me? And I miss you when you're not around I'm getting ready to leave the ground Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh Oh you look so beautiful tonight In the city of blinding lights Time, time, time Won't leave me as I am But time won't take the boy out of this man Oh you look so beautiful tonight Oh you look so beautiful tonight In the city of blinding lights
