Gas Station Heroes

In the smoke-veiled moon
Like stray cats we roamed the barren streets
Owned the barren streets
And you and me and he and she, together we were nobodies
Waxing calm and biding for the sun
And the years that led to this
And the tears that led to this
I thought the record would keep spinning on
But the song that meant so much to us lost its luster over time
And they’re gone
Now they’re gone
And here I’m made arousing wishes for that love
Reserved for the few that remain
For the cold and stale and apathetic dream brought corrosion and fear
And I wish I could have seen it fade away
And the years that led to this
And the tears that led to this
I thought the record would keep spinning on
But the song that meant so much to us lost its luster over time
And they’re gone
Now they’re gone
Then you find yourself alone
Curled up hoping that someone that you know finds you there
Drawing lines between the stars in the sky
Maybe the picture will be clear
You say that they’re a blessing
But you have been the blessing all this time
Well I’d stay a little later
But I’ve got to wake up at dawn tomorrow morning
Biding for the sun
Biding for the sun
Could you feel my love
Could you feel my love
All along
