Neon Nights
Psychedellic nights
Filled with neon lights
Street gangs and hookers
And curious lookers
The cops on the beat
And the people of the street
The young and the old
The strange and the bold
They disappear at dawn
But it won't be for long
For when the sun sets again
The activities will begin
For the people of the night
Beneath the neon lights.
