Where the street lights
The city never sleepsWhere the streetlights beam down on the trails of my foot steps
Knows all of where I've been
And the moon hides like our past that just don't matter
that just won't matter
"all days the same go chasing each other"
The snow unfurls in dancing figures
A silver gull swoops down from the west
Sometimes I sail high
"Hi stars. Hi"
Oh the heavy hearted rest alone
Sometimes I wake up early and even my soul is lead
the distant bells sound and resound
"all days the same go chasing each other"
The snow unfurls in dancing figures
A silver gull swoops down from the west
Sometimes I sail high
"Hi stars. Hi"
You say you wanna see my better side
Well my better side sees you
You think you've got it all damn figured out
Well it's true
I know it's true
I've overstayed my welcome
In this slum of a town
The graves chew us up just like gum
But they sure won't spit us out
You've got some new decorations
on that old body that I've know for so much of my life
I've been aching on the sidelines
watching you in mid-life
I'll just bow down and stay the same
