The man at the back says
the man at the front
is really the last in the line
but it all hangs on which way you're facing
and how you've been reading the signs -
the man at the front tells
the man at the back
there's more than one queue to join
but you make a mistake if you think you can
make up your mind at the toss of a coin -
oh you're all bathed in neon
and you cling to the light
your faces look strange in the glow
are you waiting for some flashing arrow
to show you which way to go?
oh you all fear the shadow
want out of the night
and you don't care what price is paid
but what will you do when the show is all through
and the lights have all started to fade?
oh you're all bathed in neon
you cling to the light
your faces look strange in the glow
are you waiting for some flashing arrow
to show you which way to go?
don't let it die, don't let the flame die
don't let it die, don't let the flame die
don't let it die, don't let the flame die
don't let it die, don't let it die
oh you're all bathed in neon
you're hungry for light
your faces seem lost in the glow
but there's only one light gonna keep off the night
and show you which way to go
