Lyrics to "Neon Rainbow" song by The Box Tops: The city lights, the pretty lights They can warm the coldest nights All the people going places Smil. In a neon rainbow, a neon rainbow City lights, the pretty lights They can warm the coldest nights All the people going places Smiling with the electric faces What they find the glow erases And what they loose the glow replaces, and life is love. In a neon rainbow, a neon rainbow, a neon rainbow.

Album: The Letter/Neon Rainbow (1967). Charted: 5 1. Get the Sheet Music License This Song. Thompson gave the song to The Box Tops on the recommendation of his friend, Chips Moman, who ran ARS Studios and liked the sound of an unnamed band headed by then-16-year-old Alex Chilton, who auditioned for him in 1967. Thompson played guitar on the recording. He didn't like the singing, believing the lead vocal was too husky, and wasn't fond of the production either.
