Looking for the Northern Lights

The streetlights flicker The sun's faded fast You've been at the pump all day Just trying to get gassed And the numbers kept on spinning But your tank it never got filled Leave the city, dim the brights Looking for the northern lights Please speak to me Of spirituality Quantum theory And your philosophy Please remind me There's so much more than what the eye can see All the everyday delights Looking for the northern lights Snap out of it, buddy Show that famous grace I just can't bear to see That stunned look on your face Oh I know that you're hurting Yes, but the night is still young I ain't gonna read you your last rites Let's go looking for the northern lights I'm up on the mountain Looking over the pit I thought it would change But it hasn't changed a bit Still I keep on coming back To wonder about what was and wonder what will be Just one more of these lonely nights Looking for the northern lights
