Hello old ghost
whats the news whats the news
How I've longed to see your face again
Don't look at me like I'm a stranger
Don't be scared there is no danger
We pretend that we dont care
So let's just take a walk and leave it there
Cause sometimes things don't turn out as you wish for
And that's what late night city lights are there for
You asked me back then what I wanted to do
But I didnt really know
Did you?
My mama said "someday you are gonna shine
You'll meet a guy who'll show you a love that's kind"
I'll run away and follow a strange old sign
You know I am sorry I let you down
What did you expect from these red lips?
Curses, laughter and a tender kiss
Hours went by and you got it all
Empty walls in a hollow city
What was I to do but flee?
When all my thoughts lay far beyond the sea
Cause sometimes love just don't turn out as you wish for
And that's what late night city lights are there for
So let's get lost we're gonna go
Let's do it my old friend
My mama said "someday you are gonna shine
You'll meet a guy who'll show you a love that's kind"
I'll run away and follow a strange old sign
You know I am sorry I let you down
