NIGHT IN THE CITY
Electric Night
Night in the Alleys
Night in the Street
Night lives in the momentary second
in the blinking of a eye.
Lives in the chilling factor of
dark there.
In the eyes of the children who
cling to the walls of the richpigs.
Is the sound of the
Night City
Red Light
Green Light
Ev'bodys moving, streets alive
Blue Lights
White Light
Flare
Back in the Hollows underneath the Stairs.
The Joker laughs and the Knight Turns
Turns
Turning into
Night
Queen of Spades/Black of
Hearts
Black of Soul/Black as Knight
Thrust the lance thru glittering
L/N ight
Winding ribbons of the day
Close in on itself, bind it thrice
Bind it once, bind it twice
(bindings naughty-not nice)
Weaving summer days
Winter days
Into nights.
Heat in the city, Night screams, Night dreams
Burning scorpion fire, cancer of the brain
Ashes flaking in the wind
Wind
Howling thru
the towers of dreamers,
Raised high above the river
streets.
Raking supercoold liquid
Speeding deamons
Down silkglass mountains
Mindshrieking from ancient
memory.
Towers grown of concrete and
steel
Wormeaten by flesh and fantasy
Twisted within as twisted without
As high above becomes below
All is
In night city.
