Neon flickers with a pale glow And all the shadows that come and go Sometimes I can hear them laugh and cry In my lonely room with a view I can't sleep and so I think of you And watch the world as it passes by I can't close my eyes I can't close my eyes This is my window to the world All of the lonely boys and girls Are a reflection in my eyes Of me and you This is my window to it all I see the heroes rise and fall This is my window to the world And I can see As the night turns into day Old ladies shuffle by and wave And the kids sell drugs to cars that slowly cruise Young lovers walk across my street Oblivious to the refugees And the lonely lost baby, that's me and you I can't close my eyes I can't close my eyes
