Had big plans for the city
But now they're dead and gone
And that's such a pity
You give so much to live your life
And life takes back
Surely you must be joking
I can't be the only one to laugh
Give a pound of flesh for an ounce of glory
Still searching for a reason
You know it's the same old story
Can't make the 9 to 5 work
Won't take that beaten path because
I don't feel alive, til the streets are filled with neon lights
See how paradise she shines
City of lies, there's no dreamers here because none survive
Follow the fools, so wise...into
Daylight
Wasn't prepared for all that life would bring
But it's been a while now
Since I've really noticed the sting
Can't see the puppet master
I can only feel the strings
I don't feel alive, til the streets are filled with neon lights
See how paradise she shines
City of lies, there's no dreamers here because none survive
Follow the fools, so wise...into
Daylight
(solos)
Making our way to the stage
Only so many times
You can bang your head against your cage
You give so much to live your life
And life takes back
Now how about that
If there's a way out tell me
I can't keep up this act because
I don't feel alive, til the streets are filled with neon lights
See how paradise she shines
City of lies, there's no dreamers here because none survive
Follow the fools, so wise
