the door was not locked so i went on inside
i had been there before and i knew that i was out on thin ice i was meeting someone but no one showed up and when trouble came by i tried to find a friendly face in the night but whoever i was looking for was nowhere in sight i chose sides i lost the fight whatever happened to saturday night? it was dark like december and the sun was on the run staggering through the streets and my fear i tried to make my escape i lay down on the pavement, tried to rest my head but i woke up from one nightmare to another full of words i'd never heard i believe they were my friends but then i saw them as ghosts and now i wonder if maybe those ghosts had been mine all the time though i think there was a reason for my actions, who knows? tonight i've got a reason and the reason is it's saturday night now I see the reason why now i see i see the reason why - i've got a ghost that i can't escape a gloved hand in the night you're my misguiding light you are the ghost that i can't escape |

I can't, I can't understand
how the winter can stay this long and so cold it gets worse it only gets worse and the weaker i get the deeper it bites everything is on ice it's so cold outside everything is on ice it's so cold outside thinking it's beginning to sink in I guess you can turn into whatever you like then what have i become? a monster scary only to itself? everything is on ice it's so cold outside everything is on ice it's so cold outside tonight I'll try to go outside I'll close my eyes and hope i got it all right and everything, everything will change and someday I'll trick myself, forget all this, rewrite the whole thing and the ice will melt and the winter will end and then I'll be ok and then it will, then it will be spring again for a while |

it's happening again but this time you know it isn't real
you know it's a mistake but mistakes are all you ever get once, you thought you'd found a way but now you know you should have known nothing ever rhymes and you know you should have just gone home the darkness around the corner wore her name, a name that you knew well you knew that she was trouble and you knew you just could not leave it alone and when the invitation came you knew it was an introduction to the end so this is how it ends well i guess you should have guessed it's happening again but this time there's violence in your eyes violent and strange they seem to stray as if they're always on their way but as they see her shadow edging around the corner they just don't know where to go nothing ever rhymes and you know you should just go home cold when you see that girl you get cold when you see that girl you thought that your luck would turn you always thought that your luck would turn never thought that you'd lose your nerve you never thought that you'd lose your nerve but you get cold when you see that girl you get cold when you see that girl |

week upon week of seamless night i was going to get something off that guy got robbed and hit in the knees because i could not see for all the trees i lost my shoes, with naked feet i ran and i ran through rainy streets
but when i caught up one guy had become three and i could not see for all the trees piece by piece the image cleared - no one ever made a friend around here i tried to make them see but they would not see for all the green one night i'll fight you but not tonight this lonely night is already lost sad men with sadder ends, lonely nights and city lights i thought that i could see but i could not see for all the trees one night i'll fight you but not tonight this lonely night is already lost |

you're so very late but i'm glad you came
this city has eyes they keep me up at night there's somebody there with eyes that stare at night i dream a sleepless dream small, hungry points of light surrounding me on every side like a forest at night this city has eyes from somewhere outside they pan my walls like searchlights another night without sleep and another day without dreams it's dark outside it's almost night the nights, they're all alike they'll show when i close my eyes for now i'll just sit tight |

there, in the dust at my feet something flickered in the heat and then just like that it disappeared
last night the mutiny spread the cops were on the run, the kids were out for blood you can see for miles but there's not a thing in sight not one sign of life i've tried but i can't feel a thing could this really be right? someday i will stop trying fights for imitations of life everything is predefined no surprises, no defiance you can see for miles but there's not a thing in sight not one sign of life but you can see for miles for miles the pool was ours for just a fraction of time in the cover of night flashlights tight in our shaking hands, too rare to die weekend comes in the wastelands you're always, or at least sometimes, on my mind disillusion tears new holes, miles wide, through an already empty space coming to at the waters edge i feel the waves embrace you look so handsome on my bathroom floor, like the blond side of life the scent of gasoline still fresh on your hands in the cold neon light |

this place it makes you wonder
well it just doesn't figure somehow i can't help thinking somewhere there's something missing sometimes i check that i'm still breathing the billboards claim there's a place far away on the other side with palm trees and white beaches somehow i find doubt about it sometimes i check that i'm still breathing sometimes i hope i'm only dreaming |
