Suburbia, 1986

It seems we follow a smoke trail
Which fades away the more we need it,
To know where to go,
'Cause we're dizzy enough not to remember
What we've been doing.

How does it feel now you're by yourself
And there's no one else to take care of you.
No one brings you home when it's late enough
For children to play so far away.

The gig is over, and it's so early...
I don't wanna go home.
I know I'll sleep alone
I know I'll miss someone to hold so much.

The basement is closed,
All the kids are gone,
But I'm sure I'II stay here
'Cause nothing is worse than the silence
Which makes you hear your lower mind's voice.

Have you ever felt like
All directions seem to lead us
to the same place?
How great if our lives shone forever
Just like that fuckin' perfect song...!
We used to sing along
Backstage kissing; hold me strong
While the amps are screaming -
Screaming for us.

The gig is over, and it's so early...
I don't wanna go home.
I know I'll sleep alone
I know I'll miss someone to hold so much.

The basement is closed,
All the kids are gone,
But I'm sure I'II stay here
'Cause nothing is worse than the silence
Which makes you hear your lower mind's voice.

Let's walk the whole night,
Let's talk some shit.
Oh, please stay and make me feel alive.
Is it all the same with all punk kids?
Are we so afraid of our time passing by?
Just one more coffee... just one more kiss...
Just one more song... it's all that I need
To feel like the world isn't bad enough
As long as you are there for me...
