lyrics

it’s nearly midnight
the city is a beach
the concrete turns
to sand beneath my feet

it’s closing time
for salesmen who are lost at sea
the siren sings
a song for nobodies

backlit horizon
headlights shine as stars
rain, and dirt, and comets
drive by Jupiter and Mars

in the flat grey
buzzing neon moon
a light shines out
illuminates the room

the light shines out
the light shines out
vivid and bright
and everything’s alright

shutters down
in the five and dime arcade
no tickertape
at the end of the parade

awake but still dreaming
in the empty all-night store
radio waves
breaking hearts upon the shore

the light shines out
the light shines out
vivid and bright
and everything’s alright

when it’s darkest
and when you cannot see
then hope will find
a path for you and me

through the black clouds
of nicotine perfume
the light shines out
illuminates the room

the light shines out
the light shines out
vivid and bright
and everything’s alright

oh the light shines out tonight
the light shines out
take down the night
it’s gonna be alright

oh the light shines out
oh the light shines out tonight
it’s gonna be alright
