In the Dark

So many people are awake in the city
I see them walking up and down the road
Think eventually they will be sleeping
Try to find a quite place to go
But theres a limited number of spaces
With comfy mattresses and soft pillows
Whether your bed is just a spot on the pavement
Or an apartment on the eighty fifth floor
Your gonna end everyday of your life
Lying there in the dark
Your gonna end every day lying there
Tired of writing pretty invitations
To the slumber that never comes
Clock ticks talking all night
And an empty stomach keeping me up
Dancing all evening all my friends stumbling drunks
Hanging back thinking your better but I don’t care who you are
Your gonna end everyday of your life lying there
In the dark in the dark
In the dark in the dark
Brain still humming the tune
Pray for the sleep thats coming
And hold on hold on
I wonder if I’ll dream about you
I wonder I’ll sing and then I’ll dream
I woke up early and i stood in the window
Felt like the only body in the world
Rain coats taxi horns one big yellow blur
I’m hanging on the sense of making a little
Watch me pour it down the hole if you’ve got somebody
Or your crawling to your bed all alone
Your gonna end everyday of your life lying there
In the dark in the dark
In the dark in the dark
Brain still humming the tune
Pray for the sleep thats coming
And hold on hold on
Hold on
