Absentminded Melody

It's dusk as all the shadows fall, the sun is laid to rest

At night this city comes to life as the light dies in the west

Here we stand as some local band stands circles round the clock

Smoke so thick you need a lighthouse, so loud I can't hear myself talk

Someone whispered in my ear, "It's not like it was before"

I don't know what happened here, I guess we just got bored

The good old days, well I suppose

I'm glad they're behind us now

The only thing worse than growin' up

Is never quite learnin' how

Late at night, we toss and we turn

Lay awake till dawn

We close our eyes as the sun comes up

And we're gone
