Someone

Neon lights glare, As your eyes stare Deep into the night. You so gently Turn and leave me, Melting in the night. Phantom faces, Fake embraces Floating where we kissed. No consoling, You"re controlling Every beat that I missed. Feeling your hunger, Ringing your number, Listening to your voice. I"m drunk and I"m callin", Trippin" and fallin", Wishin" I had a choice. Someone"s got a lover, And someone"s got a gun. Someone"s having nightmares While others have fun. Someone"s in the basement, Sittin" in the dark. Feeling some resentment, Shootin" at the park. Someone"s needing money, Trying hard to please. Failing to be funny On his hands and his knees. Someone"s on the meattrack Looking far too young. Runnin" from a police trap, Feelin" highly strung. Need a friend here, There"s no help near. I"m givin" up the ghost. I never could see, Why you left me When I needed you most. Dark eyes flashing, Young girls laughing, Fill my night with dreams. Every action Has attraction, But never what it seems. Eating my heart out, Acting a part out, Sleeping outside your door. Wantin" to touch you, Wantin" so much to Lie by your side once more. Someone"s on a knife edge Spinnin" heads and tails. Livin" on a high ledge Hangin" by his nails. Someone"s on the rooftop Tryin" hard to jump. Really needs a long drop, So his heart can pump. Someone"s taking tablets To see them through the night. Someone"s got a suntan From an endless flight. Sleeping in the back room Naked on the bed. Dreaming of a bridegroom, But morning comes instead. Someone"s eyes are manic, Searching for a home. Children dialing panic On the telephone. Shadows in the valley, Rumours runnin" rife. Someone"s in the alley, Addin" up his life.
