So many people are awake in the city
I see 'em walking up and down the road
You'd think eventually they would be sleepy
And try to find a quiet place to go
But there's a limited number of spaces
With comfy mattresses and soft pillows
Whether your bed is just a spot on the pavement
Or an apartment on the 85th floor
You're gonna end every day of your life lying there
In the dark
You're gonna end every day of your life lying there
I'm tired of writing pretty invitations
To the slumber that never comes
Clock ticks, talking all night
And an empty stomach keeping me up
Dancing all evening, all my friends
Stumbling drunks
Hanging back, thinking you're better
But I don't care who you are
You're gonna end every day of your life lying there
In the dark
In the dark of your room
In the dark
In the dark
Brain still humming a tune
Pray for the sleep that's coming
And hope for the dawn to hold on
Hold on
It's no wonder
I don't dream about you
It's no wonder
I don't sleep
I don't dream
I woke up early and I stood at the window
Felt like the only body in the world
Raincoats, taxi horns
One big yellow blur
I'm hanging on to sense, making a little
Watch me pour it down the hole
If you've got somebody
Or you crawl into a bed all alone
You're gonna end every day of your life lying there
In the dark
In the dark of your room
In the dark
In the dark
Brain still humming a tune
Pray for the sleep that's coming
And hope for the dawn to hold on
Hold on
Hold on
