The Kinks

The Kinks were an English rock band formed in Muswell Hill, North London, by brothers Ray and Dave Davies in 1964.

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. 

Underneath The Neon Sign 
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 a time when it's night? 
Is it merely my delusion 
Or 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 some-day buy 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 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 
For darkness shines 
When I'm standing underneath the neon sign.
