All the biggest cities look the same way in the dark
Where the street lights and the headlights blend so I can't tell them apart
Now it's Friday night and I'm playing here in some small local bar
Where the music drowns the silence till we can't tell who we are
And the DJ keeps attention there with some old top 40 tunes
While the cigarettes and alcohol sedate the lonely room
And every eye is closed
Every head bowed low
A drunken prophet preaches gospel from a beer- stained microphone
And that's when I say
"I think it's time to leave.
I know it's been hard.
But this is killing me.
So if you're sure.
That this is all you need.
Just leave me a note.
And walk away from me."
And walk away from me.
Well tonight was like a photograph so silent and precise
While the looks on both our faces told the stories of our lives
And of all the times we've counted on our words to work out right
All the right words and the rights smiles never made up for the time
And every eye is closed
Every head bowed low
A drunken prophet preaches gospel from a beer- stained microphone
And that's when I say
"I think it's time to leave.
I know it's been hard.
But this is killing me.
So if you're sure.
That this is all you need.
Just leave me a note.
And walk away from me."
And walk away from me.
Walk away from me.
Yeah. Oh wuh-Oh
And that's when I say
"I think it's time to leave.
I know it's been hard.
But this is killing me.
So if you're sure.
That this is all you need.
Just leave me a note.
And walk away from me."
And walk away from me.
And walk away from me.
