bright lights, little city

little city keeps the lights turned up

little city don't like the dark,
don't like to miss a beat.
it don't cry when it's drunk
or kick at the street

little city bleeds red traffic lights
across your feet
and it's heart beats louder

little city is dressed in green today,
waiting for the fireworks and
the rain ,and the wind to
move them both along

little city and yr secrets,
and the girls hearing confession
give you wine to drink,
and brick buildings keep so much cooler
