Barlights Songtext
von Fun.

Never in all of my life
Have I seen eyes as empty as
These streets of my city on a Saturday night
But the green of your eyes say, "Go, leave it all behind"
But I don′t need to be reminded a change is gonna come
I can feel it on the tip of your tongue
And I feel alive, feel alive

We met up once we settled the sun
Between the heat and the work week
The fear is we could use some sleep
But sleep to the superfluous man means better use for beds
And I'll bet I′m coming home alone tonight
I don't need to be reminded that this is how it was
I moved on, I passed a billboard down my block
It asks if I've had enough, and aloud I say "I have too much"
When the truth is, I′m just getting started


Now all the barlights are blinking in time
To Mexican music, it′s taunting the pavement
And I feel alive, I feel alive
I feel alive

One of us sings and one of us drinks
And one of us does nothing at all
So they call us all sheep
I'm the Little Bo Peep of the bunch
(I take their tales and I′m ready to go)
And he swears he's gotta take this call
Man, I′m scared he's gonna leave us too soon
We were the get-rich-quick kids, we never got it right
So we settled for the center of town
Where all the rich white kids is out looking for a fight
Got the blonde one staring me down
And I really wanna take a swing
I can′t help but remember James Dean
See, we are part of the few who agree
That hey, he lived life fast, but he died
He died, he died
Me, I'm gonna live forever (I feel alive, feel alive)

Think I'm gonna live forever (I feel alive, feel alive)
You know, I′m gonna live forever (I feel alive, feel alive)


Now all the barlights are blinking in time
To Mexican music, it′s taunting the pavement
And for the first time in a long time
I feel alive
Now all the barlights are blinking in time
To Mexican music, it's taunting the pavement
And I, and for the first time in a long time
I feel alive, I feel alive

Now all the barlights
To Mexican music
I feel alive, I feel alive
And for the first time in a long time
I feel alive, I feel alive
