Green light, Seven Eleven. You stop in for a pack of cigarettes.

You don't smoke, don't even
want to. Hey now, check your
change.

Dressed up like a car crash

The wheels are turning, but

You say when he hits you, you
don't mind

Because when he hurts you, you
feel alive
F# A E
Is that what it is?
Red lights, grey 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 synch to the talk
shows.

And if you look, you look
through me

And when 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 night would be
enough.
Faraway, so close. Up with the static and the radio.
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, and the day would keep
its trust
F#m C#m
Stay with the demons you
drowned

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 ground.
Just the bang and the clatter
as an angel hits the ground.
