Walking down the streets, lights flickering above
Silent echoes bouncing off the walls
Empty footsteps echoing through the night
A city once alive now bathed in quiet (ooh-yeah)

City lights shine so bright (ooh-yeah)
But there's no one here tonight (no one here tonight)
The streets are empty, oh so still
In this solitude, time stands still

I'm lost in the glow of the neon signs (ohhh)
Searching for a love I can't define (can't define)
The city breathes, but it feels so cold (feels so cold)
I'm longing for a hand to hold (hand to hold)

City lights shine so bright (ooh-yeah)
But there's no one here tonight (no one here tonight)
The streets are empty, oh so still
In this solitude, time stands still

In a world of make-believe and fun
Where imagination's second to none
There's a secret place where dreams come true
Where sock puppets dance like me and you

City lights shine so bright (ooh-yeah)
But there's no one here tonight (no one here tonight)
The streets are empty, oh so still
In this solitude, time stands still
