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.
