you're so proud of your perfect eyesight
but you only see the neon, you don't see the night
some people don't mind, in fact they take delight
in only seeing the neon, and not seeing the night
oh, the stars are shining
and the moon is so bright
his diamond rings are flashing
don't forget the night
ok, so you're recognized and you and the doorman are tight
but you only see the neon, you don't see the night
some things taste good, but that doesn't make them right
you only see the neon, not the night
i saw a sunset and i hope you see the light
that there wouldn't be any neon if not for the night
oh, the stars are shining
and the moon is so bright
his diamond rings are flashing
don't forget the night
everything is black & white, well okay, not quite
but you only see the neon, you don't see the night
