Naked City

Smoke and mirrors
The illusion called the city
Sweat and tears
Sizzling neon gypsy
Fantasy, hot and hungry tease

A stigma in every direction
Kept from light and forced to fight
I stalk the night like a barracuda
Destiny, what did you used to be

One mask on the flashing totem
Missed a step and found yourself
Down the hole of the inferno
Fantasy, hot and hungry tease

A stigma in every direction
Kept from light and forced to fight
I stalk the night like a barracuda
So fresh and clean, incandescent dream
Lipstick, brandy, and eye sheen

What does it mean, rainbowed gasoline
Sometimes I really like it
Kept from light and forced to fight
I'm secretly faithful to pleasure
Hungry nights in neon lights
I taste a rainbow of day-glo flavors

Idolize burning paradise
But the truth is in your complexion
Faces rife with city life
A stigma in every direction
So fresh and clean, incandescent dream
Lipstick, brandy, and eye sheen
What does it mean, rainbowed gasoline
A stigma in every direction
