Darkened rolling figures move through prisms of no color. |
|
Hand in hand, they walk the night, |
|
But never know each other. |
|
Passioned pastel neon lights light up the jeweled trav'ler |
|
Who, lost in scenes of smoke filled dreams, |
|
Find questions, but no answers. |
|
Startled eyes that sometimes see phantasmagoric splendor |
|
Pirouette down palsied paths |
|
With pennies for the vendor. |
|
Salvation's yours for just the time it takes to pay the dancer. |
|
And once again such anxious men |
|
Find questions, but no answers. |
|
The night has gone and taken it's infractions, |
|
While saddened eyes hope there will be a next one. |
|
Sahara signs look down upon a world that glitters glibly. |
|
And mountain sides put arms around |
|
The unsuspecting city. |
|
Second hands that minds have slowed are moving even faster |
|
Toward bringing down someone who's found |
