Streetlights Keep Talking (versie 2)

Verse

Corner store neon, bleeding on the tar

Amber on the pavement where the taxis are

Four a.m. shadows lean against the wall

Static from a window, low horns and all

Concrete still warm from the heat of the day

My feet know the rhythm, they won't lose the way

Dust on my sneakers, smoke in my chest

Every step a heartbeat, I forget the rest

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the pull in the wire overhead

Humming out a signal, pulling me ahead

Something in the current, something in the glow

Tell me when to stop, but I don't wanna know

Chorus

Streetlights keep talking, keep talking to my feet

Move me down the boulevard, down the empty street

Streetlights keep talking till the dark turns thin

Gonna keep on moving till the lights come up again

Verse

Broken bottle glitter on the sidewalk crack

Shadow of a dog trailing at my back

Bassline from a window, three floors high

Catch it in my ribs like a second sky

Tin roof rattle where the wind cuts through

Empty bus stop bench, no one waiting too

But the current's got me, current's got a name

Same road, same groove, never quite the same

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the pull in the wire overhead

Humming out a signal, pulling me ahead

Something in the current, something in the glow

Tell me when to stop, but I don't wanna know

Chorus

Streetlights keep talking, keep talking to my feet

Move me down the boulevard, down the empty street

Streetlights keep talking till the dark turns thin

Gonna keep on moving till the lights come up again

Bridge

Somewhere past the water tower, sky starts to bend

Orange bleeding into blue, but I don't wanna end

The lamps go quiet one by one, giving up their shine

But my feet don't know it's over — they still keep the time

Chorus

Streetlights keep talking, keep talking to my feet

Move me down the boulevard, down the empty street

Streetlights keep talking till the dark turns thin

Gonna keep on moving till the lights come up again

Outro

Lights come up

Feet still moving

Lights come up

I'm still moving
