lyrics

Lights, all across the sky,
That are singing out,
Out into the darkness,

So, wont you sing?
Sing along with me,
It’ll take away the pain,

Now and again,
I am taken back,
To that city in my memory,

Where, where we went,
Where I went with you,
If only for a weekend,

Where I went with you, if only for a weekend.


But Saturdays are all right for me,
And I’m free all Sunday too,
If you wanna come, then call me,

“But happiness is just what other people do”,
You said, and grabbed my wrist with your cold hands in the hallway,

Everyone keeps saying that you’ve gone,
That you’re crazy, and that I should just get out of your way,

You’re turning into one of those burned out, wasted unknown people,
People who just vanish,

Vanish…


I’m going down to the corner now,
To buy souvenirs and cigarettes,

“Watch out! Watch out!”
“And look both ways before you cross”,
“And keep and looking till the end”,

And look until the end,
Look until the end,
Just don’t look back,

Look until the end,
Well, who can tell the end?
Just don’t look back.


Well, years have passed,
Filled with hand-me-downs,
And letters and disaster,

But, now I’m over that,
And do I miss you?
Well not really anymore.


But Saturdays are still all right for me,
And I’m free on Sunday too,
If you wanna come, then call me,

“But happiness is just what other people choose”,
You said, and if that’s your way then your never gonna see the truth,

Don’t look back,
Don’t even try to think,
If you feel it in your blood,
Then you know that that’s an answer,

Reason only complicates these things,
And I’d like to help you out,
But I cant because you’re living in denial,
In denial,
In denial.
