[Verse 1]
Did you see
The person met a thief
At a bar off of 21st Street
They got drunk and took a gal out to the water, they threw stones
That chilled them to their bones
So they grew cold somewhat
The birds went back away that day
City lights brew on and they were blind
You saw the light in his eyes

[Chorus]
These lights they shine
When we all deny
We belong tonight
Cars race on by
To their homes each night
Down eleven tonight

[Verse 2]
You could read, the captain of the team
May cast his number 'round the scene
Who captures nights for lonely mental comfort in this sea
The fear of growing old
Chill him to his bones
That captures man, he called up to his thief
Is that the night in his eyes?
