The more you see the less you know
The less you find out as you go
I knew much more then than I do nowNeon heart, day-glo eyes
The city lit by fireflies
They're advertising in the skies
For people like usAnd I miss you when you're not around
I'm getting ready to leave the groundOh, you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lightsDon't look before you laugh
Look ugly in a photograph
Flash bulbs, purple irises the camera can't seeI've seen you walk unafraid
I've seen you in the clothes you've 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 groundOh, you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lightsTime, 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 tonightYeah, the city of blinding lights
The more you know, the less you feel
Some pray for what others steal
Blessing's not just for the ones who kneel, luckily
