(Lost with the) City Lights - a photo on Flickriver

"I wonder about silence. Also about darkness. I love the idea that city lights are a "conspiracy" against higher thoughts". — Terry Tempest Williams; 'A voice in the wilderness: conversations with Terry Tempest Williams'.

"City lights shine bright on my complexion,
Self-reflection...Red hairs flashing at the intersection.
Life is a green light, one star, no script,
Supporting actors...Fresh peaches, no pit". — Action Bronson

U2 — City of blinding lights ♫ www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xQOb51qZ-c

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, day-glow 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

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 walk 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

Oh, you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights

Time, time, 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
Oh, you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights

The more you know, the less you feel
Some pray for, others steal
Blessings are not just for the ones who kneel
Luckily.
