The city lights, the pretty lights
They can warm the coldest nights
All the people going places
Smiling with electric faces
What they find the glow erases
What they've lose  the glow replaces, and life is love.

In a neon rainbow, a neon rainbow.

Moving lights, flashing sights
Blinking faster than your mind
Leading people with suggestions
Leaving no unanswered questions
You can live without direction
And if don't have to be perfection, and life is love.

In a neon rainbow, a neon rainbow.

But in the daytime everything changes
Nothing remains the same, no one smiles anymore
Ad no one willopen his door
Until the night time comes, and then the  

City lights, the pretty lights
They can warm the coldest nights
All the people going places
Smiling with the electric faces
What they find the glow erases
And what they lose the glow replaces, and life is love.
In a neon rainbow, a neon rainbow, a neon rainbow.

The Box Tops

The Box Tops were a Memphis rock group from the 1960s. They are best known for the hits "The Letter", "Cry Like a Baby", and "Soul Deep" and are considered a major blue-eyed soul group of the period. They performed a mixture of current soul music songs by artists such as James and Bobby Purify and Clifford Curry, pop tunes such as "A Whiter Shade of Pale" by Keith Reid, Gary Brooker and Matthew Fisher of Procol Harum, and songs written by their producers, Dan Penn, Spooner Oldham, and Chips Moman. Vocalist Alex Chilton went on to front the powerpop band Big Star and to launch a career as a solo artist, during which he occasionally performed songs he had sung with the Box Tops. more »
