Barlights

Never in all of my life Have I seen eyes as empty as These streets of my city on a Saturday night But the green of your eyes say, "Go, leave it all behind" But I don't need to be reminded a change is gonna come I can feel it on the tip of your tongue And I feel alive, feel alive We met up once we settled the sun Between the heat and the work week The fear is we could use some sleep But sleep to the superfluous man means better use for beds And I'll bet I'm coming home alone tonight I don't need to be reminded that this is how it was I moved on, I passed a billboard down my block It asks if I've had enough, and aloud I say "I have too much" When the truth is, I'm just getting started Now all the barlights are blinking in time To Mexican music, it's taunting the pavement And I feel alive, I feel alive I feel alive One of us sings and one of us drinks And one of us does nothing at all So they call us all sheep I'm the Little Bo Peep of the bunch (I take their tales and I'm ready to go) And he swears he's gotta take this call Man, I'm scared he's gonna leave us too soon We were the get-rich-quick kids, we never got it right So we settled for the center of town Where all the rich white kids is out looking for a fight Got the blonde one staring me down And I really wanna take a swing I can't help but remember James Dean See, we are part of the few who agree That hey, he lived life fast, but he died He died, he died Me, I'm gonna live forever (I feel alive, feel alive) Think I'm gonna live forever (I feel alive, feel alive) You know, I'm gonna live forever (I feel alive, feel alive) Now all the barlights are blinking in time To Mexican music, it's taunting the pavement And for the first time in a long time I feel alive Now all the barlights are blinking in time To Mexican music, it's taunting the pavement And I, and for the first time in a long time I feel alive, I feel alive Now all the barlights To Mexican music I feel alive, I feel alive And for the first time in a long time I feel alive, I feel alive
