| Well, you were happy where you were
|
| But that girl she reeled you in
|
| This town was never good enough
|
| 'Cause she was gonna see everything
|
| And if you ever spoke of love
|
| She just smiled and put you down
|
| 'Cause she was making all the plans
|
| She had a vision of light and sound
|
| She said the neon on the river will light my way
|
| And all the things that we’ve been dreaming of, we’ll make it real one day
|
| So save your money, pack your bag
|
| We better run before we disappear
|
| She took the train into the city but you’re still here
|
| You hear a song that takes you back
|
| To some long forgotten night
|
| And friends who said they had your back
|
| But they just turned and ran and let you fight
|
| And on the bowling alley wall
|
| You used all your smartest lines
|
| But they’ve been painted over now
|
| Looks like you’re gonna get left behind
|
| She said the neon on the river will light my way
|
| And all the things that we’ve been dreaming of, we’ll make them real one day
|
| So save your money, pack your bag
|
| I want to run with you on Stamford Hill
|
| She took the train into the city but you stood still
|
| You stood still above the track
|
| You knew as you watched her go
|
| That she was never coming back
|
| You stop to places that you know
|
| You said you were scared of heights
|
| And that you didn’t want to go
|
| Where everyone else goes
|
| She said the neon on the river will light my way
|
| And everything that we’ve been dreaming of, we’ll make it real one day
|
| So save your money, pack your bag
|
| We better run before we disappear
|
| She took the train into the city but you’re still here
|
| She took the train into the city but you’re still here |
