City of Tiny Lites Lyrics

City of tiny lites
Don't you wanna go
Hear the tiny auto horns
When they tiny blow
Tiny lightin'
In the storm
Tiny blankets
Keep you warm
Tiny pillows
Tiny sheets
Talkin' bout those tiny cookies
That the peoples eats

City of tiny lites
Maybe you should know
That it's over there
In the tiny dirt somewhere
You can see it any time
When you get the squints
>From your downers and your wine
You're so big
It's so tiny
Every cloud is silver line-y
The great escape for all of you
Tiny is as tiny do
Tiny is as tiny do
Tiny is as tiny do
Tiny is as tiny do

City of tiny lites
Don't you wanna go
Hear the tiny auto horns
When they tiny blow
Tiny lightin'
In the storm
Tiny blankets
Keep you warm
Tiny pillows
Tiny tiny sheets
Talkin' bout them tiny cookies
That the peoples eats
That the peoples eats
That the peoples eats
That the peoples eats

And it's over there
It's over there
It's over there
It's over there

Cover art for City of Tiny Lites lyrics by Frank Zappa

This song feels like he's taking the mick out of the song L.A. Woman by The Doors. It has some similarities. That, and his voice sounds like the singer of The Cult as well for some reason.

Don't really like this song though and I'm guessing not many other people do either....

This song is not sung by Zappa which might be why you feel he "sounds like the singer of the Cult" - this is sung by Adrian Belew from King Crimson.

Personally I think this is a great track.

Adrian Belew also played guitar for the emperor of contemporary music -- a gentleman by the name of David Bowie!

Not Valid

It's supposed to be about drugs............Tripping on magic mushrooms or LSD. Love the Jim Morrison style of singing.
