You and me Swim upstream Against the flow we go Like salmon swim To mountain tops It's the only thing we know Neon lights And big city streets Along in you grows We drag the brush As time goes on Winding trails of blue For those to see The paths we took To make a dream come true Neon lights And these city streets Your presence overdue We lead not follow And that's hard to do When no one follows you With nothing new We will pretend Invent our world again The neon lights How they shined for you They'll shine for others too We lead not follow And the aim was true And so they followed you They followed you
