Under the Spell of City Lights Songtext
von JD McPherson

Walking up and down Columbus avenue
Making friends with the girls I encounter with
Left town cuz the floors wore through
Around the ally ways I go wondering
One and only can you hear me
Staring at the ceiling in a cynical stairway
Ducking in you find over me
A one and only with the new thing happening
I got my mind set on you
From met rockers and down to sunrise

But what am I coming to
Cast down to paradise
Under the spell of city lights
Weren′t you a funny Valentine
Let me know if I should send it
Take my broken heart and mend it
Under the spell of city lights


The memories keep me up at night
Passing us to the engineer
Take a trip to the harbor lights
I think Tony left his heart down there
Can't get my mind off of you
But that promise turned down to sunrise

But what am I coming to
Cast down to paradise
Under the spell of city lights
Weren′t you a funny Valentine
Let me know if I should send it
Take my broken heart and mend it
Under the spell of city lights

I got my mind set on you
From met rockers and down to sunrise
But what am I coming to
Cast down to paradise
Under the spell of city lights
Weren't you a funny Valentine
Let me know if I should send it
Take my broken heart and mend it
Under the spell of city lights
