I can't wait to find out the way We learn the way we get things done Compared romantic carnage Makes the devil take your tongue For a ride around this town
And I'll sever these cryptic ties And my sleight of hand reties this friendship band And command those neon lights to To spell a new name for Ireland And take the trouble in this place It gets late and it gets light The city blinks and blinds And fails to ruin everything
Drew a line from your street to mine And in time I got to know The route so well I could walk With my eyes closed and closed and closed In the shadows of a Friday night I walked into a brand new streetlight Relieved to be walking On my own, my own, my own
Everyeveryeverything
And so I severed these cryptic ties And my sleight of hand retied most friendship bands And commanded those neon lights to To spell a new name for Ireland And take the trouble in this place It gets late and it gets light And we're fools with heavy eyes If we hadn't stayed up past our bedtime We'd miss the city blink and blind You see buildings slip and slide Like a flower blooming in fast-forward And we find out the way The way we get things done Take care not to take our chances It gets late and it gets light And we're fools with heavy eyes We mapped out to ruin everything
