Hollow, old ghost
What's the news, what's 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 don't care
So let's just take a walk and leave it there
'Cause sometimes things just don't turn out as you meant for
And that's what late night city lights are there for
You asked me back then what I wanted to be
But I didn't really know, did you?
My mama said, "Someday you are gonna shine."
(Don't know where I'm traveling to)
"You'll meet a guy who'll show you a love that's kind."
(Don't know where I'm traveling to)
I'll run away and follow a strange old sign
(Dare no others would do)
You know I am sorry I let you down
(Don't know where I'm traveling to)
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
(Let's go get lost)
And sometimes life just don't turn out as you meant for
And that's what late night city lights are there for
So let's go get lost, we're gonna go
Let us do it, my old friend
My mama said, "You will be wise this time."
(Don't know where I'm traveling to)
"Eager to ride on the waters of your own mind."
(Don't know where I'm traveling to)
Dimwitted man, you know I am so
(Dare no others would do)
Someday the wave's gonna show me the way to the sand
(Don't know where I'm traveling to)
Let's go get, let's go get, let's go get lost
My mama said, "Someday you are gonna shine."
(Don't know where I'm traveling to)
"You'll be a woman, soft in your heart and kind."
(Don't know where I'm traveling to)
I'll run away and follow a strange old sign
(Dare no others would do)
You know I am sorry I let you down
(Don't know where I'm traveling to)
I'll run away and follow a strange old sign
(Don't know where I'm traveling to)
You know I am bound to be gone and found
(Don't know where I'm traveling to)
(Dare no others would do
I don't know where I'm traveling to)
