Kinks - Underneath The Neon Sign Lyrics
Our hero leaves the pub his head stillSwimming with alcohol, his headBuzzing with facts, figures andComputers. night is descending as heWearily makes his way home throughThe traffic jams and neon lights of theGreat metropolis.Underneath the neon signAll I see is imitationAnd theres no earth beneath my feet.There are no trees or fields in front of meOnly slabs of concrete.Skyscrapers reaching up to the clouds,Dont give the moon a chance to shine,And Ive got imitation moonlightStanding underneath the neon sign.Is it real or just illusion?Can there be a time when its night?Is it merely my delusionOr my senses telling me lies.Is it just hallucination?Have I been drinking too much wine?I dont know if its day or night,When Im underneath the neon sign.Underneath the neon sign.Electronic nature made by man with robots in mind.Big city lights guide my way into the night, darkness shinesWhen Im standing underneath the neon sign.If there isnt any sunshineWell some-day buy the neon signAnd if we cant see any stars at nightWell sit and watch the traffic lights.If there isnt any day-timeIve got an imitation dawn,Ive got a simulated sunshineStanding underneath the neon sign.Is it an illusion?Have I been drinking too much wine?Can there be day-time when its nightUnderneath the neon sign.Underneath the neon sign.Is it mother naturePlaying tricks with my eyesFor darkness shinesWhen Im standing underneath the neon sign.
