Lyrics

Against the canvas of the city line
From the light glow of city lights
Are the stars and the signs
Of otherworldly delights

I'm wandering the streets
In search of sweet sights
And you haunt my mind
In my wild, endless nights

Oh, and the streets are calling me
And the city summons me
The people are inviting me
The electric signs beckon me
But I can't let it go
No I can't let you go
Please take me where you go
Oh, oh

I imagine you in the moon
Watching me make my move
But I've got to settle a score
I have something to prove

I see a little bit of you
In all the people I meet
But I see so much of me
In the shadows across the street

Oh, and the streets are calling me
And the city summons me
The people are inviting me
The electric signs beckon me
But I can't let it go
No I can't let you go
Please take me where you go
Oh, oh

Have you ever exchanged harsh reality for a dream?
Blown a kiss to chance and reached for a sunbeam?

I would call to you across the city
And if my barbaric yawp resounds
If I'm allowed to be received
I'd make it to you in the rounds

I would call to you across the city
Send the carrier pigeons on their way
How would you receive the message
If I could fall in your arms today?
