Spotlight On
by David Usher
Caught on the train
amuse myself and eavesdrop on those Japanese girls Party-planning
Chic and lovely broken English
Smiles at me and mouths that we're all fools
New York style
Endless nights keep rushing by
We wander out onto the sidewalk
Cigarettes are piling high
Hustlers and the queens are singing
Still we are
Invincible
We thought we'd be forever young
Standing here beneath the sign
With spotlight on
Spotlight on
Missed the rain
Coming home it's early morning
Wait outside the sunshine market
Desperate in our invitation
Asking all those lovers just to stay
Drift away
Through the buildings dawn is breaking
All the people line for coffee
Read about the day's disasters
Hustlers and the queens are singing
Still we are
Invincible
We thought we'd be forever young
Standing here beneath the sign
With spotlight on
Spotlight on
Still we are...
Invincible...
We thought we'd be... forever young...
Standing here... beneath the sign...
With spotlight on
