The street lights are tryin to kill the moon
They've been at it since way back in June
Cant stop thinkin of yesterday afternoon
your blue sky and my Black Balloon
I tried and I tried but couldn't run away
as colors slowly faded into shades of gray
I opened my eyes and there was hell to pay
I looked around but there was nothing to say
(CH.)
not every single smile is a sign of happiness
presence of bodies in your life doesn't rule out loneliness
oh no... no no
not every set of stars is the milky way
not every sound you make means you've got something to say
as you can see it's all just in our heads
what we make of life is what you get
(CH.)
(you are the pulse that's keeping me from pulling the plug on this dead end town)
you are the pulse that's keeping me from pulling the plug on this dead end town
you are the pulse that's keeping me from now
The street lights are tryin to kill the moon
They've been at it since way back in June
Cant stop thinkin of yesterday afternoon
your blue sky and my Black Balloon...
