Following the pulse and thrum
To clubland once again
Of neon words from poet past
The beat that drove us on
To the edge of wild dreams
But nightlife breathes us in again
Like a deadening high
Or a cinder adrift
Ends with fire
Begins with a kiss
Dance on the rooftops
Ember underfoot
Ends in ashes
Began like this
The city full of walls and doors
An empty place to find
She climbs the hollow stairway
Between the us and them
Just the blackness of below
Till daybreak breathes us out again
Like a deadening high
Or a cinder adrift
Ends with fire
Begins with a kiss
Dance on the rooftops
Ember underfoot
Ends in ashes
Began like this
