Hollow old ghost
What's the news
What's the news
How I've longed
To see your face again
Don't look at me
Like I'm a stranger
Don't be scared
There is no danger
We pretend that we don't care
So let's just take a walk and
Leave it there
'Cause sometimes things
Just don't turn out
As you meant for
And that's what
Late night city lights
Are there for
You asked me back then
What I wanted to be
But I didn't really know
Did you?
My mama said
"Someday you are gonna shine."
(Don't know where I'm traveling to)
"You'll meet a guy
Who'll show you a love that's kind."
(Don't know where I'm traveling to)
I'll run away and follow a strange old sign
(Dare no others would do)
You know I am sorry I let you down
(Don't know where I'm traveling to)
What did you expect
From these red lips?
Curses, laughter
And a tender kiss
Hours went by
And you got it all
Empty walls in a hollow city
What was I to do but flee?
When all my thoughts lay
Far beyond the sea
(Let's go get lost)
And sometimes life just
Don't turn out as you meant for
And that's what late night
City lights are there for
So let's go get lost
We're gonna go
Let us do it, my old friend
My mama said
"You will be wise this time."
(Don't know where I'm traveling to)
"Eager to ride on the
Waters of your own mind."
(Don't know where I'm traveling to)
Dimwitted man
Human I am
Slow down
(Dare no others would do)
Someday the wave's gonna
Show me the way to the sand
(Don't know where I'm traveling to)
Let's go get, let's go get
Let's go get lost
My mama said
"Someday you are gonna shine."
(Don't know where I'm traveling to)
"You'll be a woman
Soft in your heart and kind."
(Don't know where I'm traveling to)
I'll run away and
Follow a strange old sign
(Dare no others would do)
You know I am sorry I let you down
(Don't know where I'm traveling to)
I'll run away and
Follow a strange old sign
(Don't know where I'm traveling to)
You know I am bound
To be gone and found
(Don't know where I'm traveling to)
(Dare no others would do
I don't know where I'm traveling to)
