Who would've thought it would finish like this
at the back of a bus at 2:36
And you try to explain why things aren't the same
you've grown up a little you haven't really changed
And the song came on just before dawn
you tried to catch sleep but she's run off to torment your mind
And you lie there awake and unnerved
and you really don't like the first verse
and you're thinking about the universe
Seize the night, let shadows run wild in your mind
Seize the night, and do your best to lose track of time
Seize the night, and the path won't feel so long
Cos if you know where you are when you wake up
if you know where you are when you wake up
if you know where you are when you wake up something's wrong
verse 2
Never knew it would take this long
The same old streets, the same old songs
The same wise words from old man John
Where does he go now the grey horse is gone?
Closed down the 12 bar last week
I remember you dancing on Denmark Street
Asking where we're going next
Those are the days I'll always know best
And they're ripping this city's heart out of it's chest
Seize the night, let shadows run wild in your mind
Seize the night, and do your best to lose track of time
Seize the night, and the path won't feel so long
Cos if you know where you are when you wake up
if you know where you are when you wake up
if you know where you are when you wake up something's wrong
verse 3
It's just black 17 and red number 5
ten minutes to the pound four years of your life
Wish I could write a letter to the past
A warning to say its gonna happen so fast
Johnny used to say he believed in ghosts
They were the little things that he loved the most
Well we never got rich and we never got famous
I heard Alice got married in Vegas
If you see her won't you tell her that I said goodbye
And I never forgot that fateful Valentine
And I never forgot the tears in her eyes
Seize the night, let shadows run wild in your mind
Seize the night, and do your best to lose track of time
Seize the night, and the path won't feel so long
Cos if you know where you are when you wake up
if you know where you are when you wake up
if you know where you are when you wake up something's wrong
BRIDE
Well if you blink then you'll miss it when the times are changing
Cuz its out of fashion when its on TV
Before you know it your eyes are ageing,
Your telling your kids, "That used to be me"
Well we got off the bus a kiss on the cheek said
"Maybe I'll give you a call next week"
We both know those calls will never come
But as long as we're still breathing there'll be somewhere left to run
Seize the night, let shadows run wild in your mind
Seize the night, and do your best to lose track of time
Seize the night, and the path won't feel so long
Cos if you know where you are when you wake up
if you know where you are when you wake up
if you know where you are when you wake up something's wrong
