Hello old ghost
whats the news whats 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 dont care
So let s just take a walk and leave it there
Cause sometimes things 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 didnt really know
Did you?
My mama said "someday you are gonna shine
You ll meet a guy who ll show you a love that s kind"
I ll run away and follow a strange old sign
You know I am sorry I let you down
What did you expect from these red lips?
Curses, laughter and a tender kiss
Hours went by and you got it all
Empty walls in a hollow city
What was I to do but flee?
When all my thoughts lay far beyond the sea
Cause sometimes love just don t turn out as you wish for
And that s what late night city lights are there for
So let s get lost we re gonna go
Let s do it my old friend
My mama said "someday you are gonna shine
You ll meet a guy who ll show you a love that s kind"
I ll run away and follow a strange old sign
You know I am sorry I let you down
