All the lights, they shimmer, they flicker
And for a moment the clock seems to stop
All the lights, they shimmer, they flicker
They're a reminder of things that you've lost
All the lights, beyond the horizon
Where marble towers shoot up to the skies
And every day, reaching higher and higher
Beaconing signals to which no one complies
Oooh oooh ooh ooh
All the lights, they shimmer and flicker
Is there a reason why they keep them inside?
I'll paint stars, constellations of fire
Bright up the night instead of dwelling inside
All the lights, they shimmer and flicker
Now lit up stark, lighting the heres and the nows
all the lights, they shimmer, they flicker
And for a moment the clock seems to stop
