See the city lights, neon flashing by
Watch the tide roll in underneath the sky
The world is full of people rushing home
Past empty shopfront doorways
Where lonely people sleep alone
Stars that do not shine look on a golden clock
Black hands of time move on a face once shot
Shot by an estranged gunman who’d lost his aim
Some people stop to stare then looked away
In the broken silence
We can disappear
In the broken silence
Miles away from here
All night bars are full of stories and dreams
Going round and round and round and round
A circle winding down
Sometimes, I see a comet out in space
It leaves a blazing trail then comes again
In the broken silence
We can disappear
In the broken silence
Miles away from here
