Daily Nightly Lyrics

"Daily Nightly"

   by Mike Nesmith

 Dark and rolling figures move

 Through prisms of no color.

 Hand in hand they walk the night

 But never know each other.

 Passion passed in neon lights

 Light up the jewelled traveler,

 Lost in scenes of smoke-filled dreams

 Find questions

      but no answer.

 Startled eyes that sometimes see

 Phantasmagoric splendor

 Pirouette down palmsied paths,

 With pennies for the vendor.

 Salvation tears [???] but just in time

 It takes to pay the dancer.

 Once again, such anxious men

 Find questions

      but no answers.

 The night has gone

 And taken its infraction

 While red-rimmed [???] eyes

 Hope there will be a next one...

 Terror signs look down upon

 A world that glitters glibly

 And mountainsides put arms around

 The unsuspecting city.

 Secondhands in minds of slow

 Are moving even faster

 Toward bringing down someone who's found

 The questions

     but no answer...
