How long goes 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 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 didn't really know, did you? Mama says someday you'll all shine You'll be the guy who'll show you how life's done Out on the way that follows where you don't sound You'll be the last star you lay down What did you expect from these red lips? Curses, laughter and a tender kiss Hours went by and you've got it all Empty walls in a house so tall What was I to do when you broke free? All my thoughts lay far beyond the ceiling sky And sometimes life just don't turn out as you wish for And that's what late night city lights are there for So let's go get lost, be gone and gone But I'll still be my friend Mama said you'll be wise this time Teach you to ride on the wires of your own mind Dude and man, you and I as old friends Sounded away from the show, you were waiting to say Let's go get lost, let's go get lost Mama says someday you'll all shine You'll be the one who's lost in the heart of town Out on the way that follows painful times You'll be the last star you lay down Out on the way that follows painful times You'll be the last star you lay down Out on the way that follows painful times You'll be the last star you lay down
