G reen light Seven E leven
You stop i n for a pack of cigaret tes
You don't smoke don't even wa nt to
Hey now check your chang e
Dressed up like a ca r crash
The whe els are turning but you're u pside down
Yo u say when he hits you you don't min d
Be cause when he hurts you you feel ali ve
Is that what it is?
R ed lights grey mor ning
You stum ble out of a hole in the gr ound
A vampire or a vi ctim
It depen ds on who's aro und
You used to sta y in to watch the adv erts
You could lip sy nch to the talk sho ws
An d if you look you look through m e
And when you talk it's not to me
And when I touch you you don't fe el a thing
I f I could stay...
then the night wo uld give you up
St ay and the day would keep its tru st
St ay and the ni ght would be eno ugh
Farawa y so cl ose
Up with the st atic and the ra dio
With satell ite telev ision
You ca n go anywh ere
Miam i New Orle ans Lo ndon Belfast and Berli n
A nd if you listen I can't call
And if you jump you just mig ht fall
And if you shout I'll only hear yo u
If I could st ay...
then the night would give you u p
St ay and the day would keep its tru st
St ay with the demons you drowned
St ay with the spi rit I found
St ay and the nigh t would be en ough
Three o'cl ock in the mo rning
It's quiet an d there's no one around
Just the ba ng and the cl atter
As an a ngel runs to gr ound
Just the ba ng and the cl atter
As an an gel hits the gro und
