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



Chorus:

This is my window to the world

All of the loney 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



Chorus
