Lyrics

Night comes down and finds you alone
In a space and time of your own
Lost in dreams in a world full of shadows

Down the street the neon light shines
Offering refuge and hope to the blind
You stumble in with no thought of tomorrow

Yes, I get a little lonely when the sun gets low
And I end looking for somewhere to go
Yes, I should know better but I can't say no

Oh no no no
No no no no

The lights are low and the muzak is loud
You watch yourself as you play to the crowd
One more face in a palace of mirrors

One more drink, you're sailing away
One more dream but it's looking ok
One more time to watch the flow of the river

Yes, I get a little lonely when the sun gets low
And I end looking for somewhere to go
Yes, I should know better but I can't say no

Oh no no no
No no no no no no no oooooooh

Yes, I get a little lonely when the sun gets low
And I end looking for somewhere to go
Yes, I should know better but I can't say no

Oh no no no
No no no no

You've seen it all yeah you've seen it before
Like a fool you always come back for more
You live your life like there was no more tomorrow

Night comes down and finds you alone
In a space and time of your own
Lost in dreams in a world full of shadows

Yes, I get a little lonely when the sun gets low
And I end looking for somewhere to go
Yes, I should know better but I can't say no

Oh no no no
Oh no no no
No no no no
No no no no
No no
No no
Oooooooooooh
