Daily Nightly
Words and music by Michael Nesmith

A                        C                                            A
Darkened rolling figures move thru' prisms of no color.
                              C
Hand in hand, they walk the night,
       D                        A
But never know each other.
E                                                D                    A
Passioned pastel neon lights light up the jeweled trav'ler
          A                     
Who, lost in scenes of smoke filled dreams,
         D                      A
Find questions but no answers.

A                                 C                          D                              A
Startled eyes that sometimes se phantasmagoric splendor
                                 C
Pirouette down palsied paths
         D                            A
With pennies for the vendor.
E                                                                     D                                A
Salvation's yours for just the time it takes to pay the dancer.
                                 C
And once again such anxious men
         D                                A
Find questions, but no answers.

E                                                               A
The night has gone and takes its infractions,
           E                                                             A
While sadden eyes hope ther will be a next one.

A                                   C                        D                                 A
Sahara signs look down upon a world that glitters glibly.
                                     C
And mountain sides put arms around
        D                        A
The unsuspecting city.
E                                                                                    D                       A
Second hands that minds have slowed are moving even faster
E                                                         C
Toward bringing down someone who's found,
        D                              A
The questions but no answers.
