Tiny flickering lights in a million windows
The hopes and dreams of a million different people
But they do not hope and dream
The way I hope and dream
Surely?
Check the mirror Shut the door Slap the gear We leave tonight, ain't nothing but the stripes Ain't nothing but the stripes
See the light, be the night, feel the road River rise, synchronize, bleed some more We leave tonight We leave tonight
If I'm uncivilized child, that's okay You're gonna see me light a fire on my days But you don't see me You don't see me You don't see me I can't see you anymore
If all in vain I call your name as though the end was near A slow decay, a sad refrain, and then I disappear We leave tonight Ain't nothing but the stripes
As those city lights die, I'm on my way You're gonna see me light a fire on my days But you don't need me You don't need me You don't need me I don't need you anymore.
