"Underneath The Neon Sign" lyrics

[Our hero leaves the pub. His head still swimming with alcohol. His head buzzing with facts, figures and computers. Night is descending as he wearily makes his way home through the traffic jams and neon lights of the great metropolis.]

All I see is imitation
And there's no earth beneath my feet
There are no trees or fields in front of me
Only slabs of concrete
Skyscrapers reaching up to the clouds
Don't give the moon a chance to shine
And I've got imitation moonlight
Standing underneath the neon sign

Is it real or just illusion?
Can there be day-time when it's night?
Is it merely my delusion
Or are my senses telling me lies
Is it just hallucination?
Have I been drinking too much wine?
I don't know if it's day or night
When I'm underneath the neon sign
Underneath the neon sign

Electronic nature made by man with robots in mind
Big city lights guide my way into the night, darkness shines
When I'm standing underneath the neon sign

If there isn't any sunshine
We'll sunbathe by the neon sign
And if we can't see any stars at night
We'll sit and watch the traffic lights
If there isn't any day-time
I've got an imitation dawn
I've got a simulated sunshine
Standing underneath the neon sign

Is it only an illusion?
Have I been drinking too much wine?
Can there be day-time when it's night
Underneath the neon sign
Underneath the neon sign
Is it mother nature
Playing tricks with my eyes
The dark is bright
When I'm standing underneath the neon sign
