[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Neon, the city's sun
Taxis like beetles run and I see
Pavements with yellow lines
Grey walls and big bold signs with darkness

[Chorus]
Up above, all around
In the sky, on the ground
This is what I have found
Cities, cities

[Verse 2]
Here, the flowers don't grow
Here, the river's just a sewer
People who move below
Buildings with smells and noise and darkness

[Chorus]
Up above, all around
In the sky, on the ground
This is what I have found
Cities, cities
[Bridge]
Not for me
No, no, I don't believe you
It's not the place to be
No, no, I won't believe you

[Verse 3]
Here, the flowers don't grow
Here, the river's just a sewer
People who move below
Buildings with smells and noise and darkness

[Chorus]
Up above, all around
In the sky, on the ground
This is what I have found
Cities, cities

[Outro]
Cities
