STAY... (FARAWAY... BUT SO CLOSE)

"Green light, seven eleven
You stop in for a pack of cigarettes...
You don’t smoke, don’t even want to
Hey now, i see you check your change...
Dressed up like a car crash...
The wheels are turning but you’re upside down....
You say when he hits you, you don’t mind
Because when he hurts you, you feel alive...
Oh, now, Is that what it is?
Red lights, gray morning...
You stumble out of a hole in the ground
A vampire or a victim???
It depends on who’s around...
You used to stay in to watch the adverts
You could lip sync with the talk show hosts
And if you look, you look through me
And if you talk it’s not to me
And when I touch you, you don’t feel a thing
If I could stay.. then the night would give you up
Stay, and the day would keep it’s trust
Stay, and the night would be enough...
Faraway, so close... Up with the static and the radio waves
With satellite television
You can go anywhere... Miami, New Orleans, London, Belfast and Berlin
And if you listen I can’t call....
And if you jump, you just might fall...
And if you shout I’ll only hear you
If I could stay.. then the night would give you up....
Stay then the day would keep it’s trust...
Stay with the demons you drown...
Stay with the spirit I found....
Stay and the night would be enough...
Three o’clock in the morning
It’s quiet and there’s no one around
Just the bang and the clatter
As an angel runs to the ground
Just the bang and the clatter
As an angel hits the ground..."
