The Kinks

The Kinks were an English rock band formed in Muswell Hill, North London, by brothers Ray and Dave Davies in 1964. Categorised in the United States as a British Invasion band, the Kinks are recognised as one of the most important and influential rock groups of the era.

All I see is imitation
And there's no earth beneath my feet
There are no trees or fields in front of me
Only slabs of concrete

Skyscrapers reaching up to the clouds
Don't give the moon a chance to shine
And I've got imitation moonlight
Standing underneath the neon sign

Is it real or just illusion?
Can there be daytime when it's night?
Is it merely my delusion
Or are my senses telling me lies?

Is it just hallucination?
Have I been drinking too much wine?
I don't know if it's day or night
When I'm underneath the neon sign
Underneath the neon sign

Electronic nature made by man with robots in mind
Big city lights guide my way
Into the night, darkness shines
When I'm standing underneath the neon sign

If there isn't any sunshine
We'll sunbathe by the neon sign
And if we can't see any stars at night
We'll sit and watch the traffic lights

And if there isn't any daytime
I've got an imitation dawn
I've got a simulated sunshine
Standing underneath the neon sign

Underneath the neon sign

Is it only an illusion?
Have I been drinking too much wine?
Can there be daytime when it's night?
Underneath the neon sign
Underneath the neon sign

Is it Mother Nature
Playing tricks with my eyes?
For dark is bright
When I'm standing underneath the neon sign
