Stay

Neon light, 7-11
You stop in for a pack of cigarettes
You don't smoke, don't even want to
Hey now, take your test
Dressed up like a car crash
The wheels are turning but you're upside down
You say when it hits you, you don't mind
Because when it hurts you, you feel alive
Oh no, is that what it is?
Oh no, is that what it is?

Red lights, grey morning
You stumble out of the hole in the ground
You're a vampire or a victim
It depends on who's around
You just stay to watch the others
You could listen to the talk shows
And if you look, you look through me
And if you talk, it's not to me
And when I touch you, you don't feel a thing

If I could stay then the night would give you up
Stay, the day would keep its trust
Stay and the night would be enough

Far away, so close
Up with the static and the radio
With satellite television you can go anywhere
Miami, New Orleans
London, Belfast and Berlin
And if you listen, I can't call
And if you jump, here's my fall
And if you shout, I'll only hear you

If I could stay then the night would give you up
Stay, the day would keep its trust
Stay with the demons you drowned
Stay with the spirit I found
Stay and the night would be enough

Three o'clock in the morning
It's quiet and there's no one around
You step back in the clutter
As an angel runs the ground
You step back in the clutter
As an angel hits the ground
You step back in the clutter
As an angel hits the ground
You step back in the clutter
As an angel hits the ground
