Lyrics

Many times I've been told, all that glitters is not gold
You've never seen anything shimmer so bold as I have
After two Saturday night still the bulbs are burning bright
Has anyone even put up half the fight that I have

I could wait for the sun to wash it all away
For the blasted burning brightness of the day
I could stand and stare from the peak of echo park
looking over a city that is scared of the dark

And when I am full of doubt sometimes I just sit about
And wonder what would happen if the lights went out for a minute
Would we be frozen by fright would there be panic in the street that night
Or would we silently savor the sight for a minute

Now as I make my way home I wind through the hills alone
And marvel at the way my world has grown around me
Bill boards street lights neon bars liquor stores and passing cars
Weave into a tapestry of a thousand stars around me
