The city lights are on I don't want to be so terribly excited And before I drive to you, I might drink too much The city lights are on I don't want my heart to beat so loudly And before I drive to you, I need to smoke another cigarette Or even two The city lights are on I don't want to keep you waiting And before I drive to you, I'd better call you up Again You say: I'm waiting for you You say: I'm so looking forward to seeing you You say: I'll come and meet you halfway Halfway, halfway..... I see you Getting off my bike... Then you take my hand Asking with a smile: Are you cold...? On the contrary, I'm really hot...! I don't care about the city lights now Not at all... I don´t care about anything Except for you You, You, now in the city lights Turning into Purple rain The only things that shine are ours Torches in the storm... Torches in the storm.... Fackeln im Sturm.... Fackeln im Sturm.....
