Barlights |
Never in all my life |
Have I seen eyes as empty as |
These streets of my city on a Saturday night |
But the green of your eyes say go |
Leave it all behind |
But I don’t need to be reminded a change is gonna come |
I can feel it on the tip of your tongue |
And I feel alive, feel alive |
We met up once we settled the sun |
Between the heat and the work week |
The fear is we could use some sleep |
But sleep to the superfluous man means better use for beds |
And I’ll bet I’m coming home alone tonight |
I don’t need to be reminded that this is how it was |
I moved on, I passed a billboard down my block |
It asked if I had enough, and aloud I’ll say «I had too much» |
When the truth is, I’m just getting started |
Now all the barlights are blinking in time |
To Mexican music it’s taunting the pavement |
And I feel alive, I feel alive |
I feel alive |
One of us sings and one of us drinks |
And one of us does nothing at all |
So they call us all sheep |
Well I’m the Little Bo Peep of the bunch |
And he swears he’s gotta take this call |
I’m scared he’s gonna leave us too soon |
We were the get-rich-quick kids, we never got it right |
So we settled for the center of town |
Where all the rich white kids is out looking for a fight |
Got the blonde one staring me down |
And I really wanna take a swing |
I can’t help but remember James Dean |
See we are part of the few who agree |
That hey, he lived life fast, but he died |
He died, he died |
Me, I’m gonna live forever |
(I feel alive) |
I think I’m gonna live forever |
(I feel alive) |
I know I’m gonna live forever |
Now all the barlights are blinking in time |
To Mexican music, it’s taunting the pavement |
And for the first time, in a long time |
I feel alive |
Now all the barlights are blinking in time |
To Mexican music, it’s taunting the pavement |
And for the first time, in a long time |
I feel alive |
Now all the barlights |
To Mexican music |
Oh, I feel alive, I feel alive |
And for the first time, in a long time |
I feel alive, I feel alive |
