U2: "City Of Blinding Lights" Lyrics

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

The city lit by fireflies

They're advertising in the skies

And 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...



Don't think 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'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 ground



Oh you look so beautiful tonight...tonight

In the city of blinding lights



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
