lyrics

In your neighborhood
the lights shine on me
and well i made peace with the streetlights
but thats not much of a story
so i sail out on the sea
i'll leave my country
cause i wanted someone to notice
and no i'm not much of a sailor
so i get tossed by the waves
i swim right out of my grave
and i'll be right back in the morning
with the sun creeping out of the curtains
well we'll run around in the park
we'll run until it gets dark
and then we'll make peace with the street lights
ya we'll make peace with the street lights

Don't stay here with me
in this burning city
cause there ain't nothing here but a fire
and i'm on top of the buildings
now i'm left here with the beasts
with claws and sharpened teeth
i always wanted someone to notice
and no i'm not much of a dancer
while they feed feed on my heart
our bodies all fall apart
and it's a nice night in the forest
well see you in the morning
and we watched the sun rise
we got the sun in our eyes
while were on top of the buildings
ya were on top of the buildings.
