The more you see, the less you know
The less you find out as you go
I knew much more then than I do now
Neon heart, Day-Glo eyes
A city lit by fireflies
They’re advertising in the skies
For people like us
And I miss you when you’re not around
I’m getting ready to leave the ground
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights
Don’t look before you laugh
Look ugly in a photograph
Flash bulbs purple irises
The camera can’t see
I’ve seen you walk unafraid
I’ve seen you in the clothes you made
Can you see the beauty inside of me?
What happened to the beauty I had inside of me?
And I miss you when you’re not around
I’m getting ready to leave the ground
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights
Time…time…time…time…time
Won’t leave me as I am
But time won’t take the boy out of this man
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights
The more you know the less you feel
Some pray for others steal
Blessings are not just for the ones who kneel… luckily
Prevod na srpski
Grad zaslepljujućeg svetla
Što više vidiš, to manje znaš
Manje usput saznaš
Nekad sam mnogo više znao nego sad
Neonsko srce, florescentne oči
Jedan grad osvetljen svicima
Reklamiraju se na nebu
Ljudima kao što smo mi
I nedostaješ mi kad nisi tu
Spremam se da napustim zemlju
Oh večeras tako lepo izgledaš
U ovom gradu zaslepljujućeg svetla
Ne gledaj pre no što se nasmeješ
Izgledaš ružno na fotografiji
Blic, purpurne dužice
Kamera ne vidi
Video sam te kako ideš bez straha
Video sam te u odeći koju si napravila
Vidiš li tu lepotu u meni?
Šta se desilo sa tom lepotom u meni?
I nedostaješ mi kad nisi tu
Spremam se da napustim zemlju
Oh večeras tako lepo izgledaš
U ovom gradu zaslepljujućeg svetla
Vreme… vreme…vreme…vreme…vreme
Neće me ostaviti istim
Ali vreme neće ubiti dečaka u ovom čoveku
Oh večeras tako lepo izgledaš
Oh večeras tako lepo izgledaš
Oh večeras tako lepo izgledaš
U ovom gradu zaslepljujućeg svetla
Što više znaš, manje osećaš
Neki se mole dok drugi kradu
Blagoslovi nisu samo za one koji kleče… na sreću
