Daily Nightly Lyrics

			   "Daily Nightly"
			   by Mike Nesmith

 Dark and rolling figures move
 Through prisms of no color.
 Hand in hand they walk the night
 But never know each other.
 Passion passed in neon lights
 Light up the jewelled traveler,
 Lost in scenes of smoke-filled dreams
 Find questions
      but no answer.

 Startled eyes that sometimes see
 Phantasmagoric splendor
 Pirouette down palmsied paths,
 With pennies for the vendor.
 Salvation tears [???] but just in time
 It takes to pay the dancer.
 Once again, such anxious men
 Find questions
      but no answers.

 The night has gone 
 And taken its infraction
 While red-rimmed [???] eyes
 Hope there will be a next one...

 Terror signs look down upon
 A world that glitters glibly
 And mountainsides put arms around
 The unsuspecting city.
 Secondhands in minds of slow
 Are moving even faster
 Toward bringing down someone who's found
 The questions
     but no answer...
