City of Blinding Lights (Live at The Rose Bowl, 360° Live Tour, 2009)
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 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 Yeah, 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
