It comes quickly,
pulls you back from the wall
And you can't understand why
your feet's just a -moving
The old city is starting to fall
But just for tonight you will
keep them appealing
She takes her place in
the touch of your hands
But look in her eyes,
they say that she needs you
To be a man who will not depend
On the hope that is born at
the drop of a needle
So tell me baby,
now that everything's changed
Why it was always right there from the start
Is that the reason why everything's
falling apart?
It's so easy to be running away
from the city that made you a star
Is that the reason why everything's
falling apart?
In white lights the decision is made
Tonight you're the one
who will be saved
Tiny hands cover face
And hide the smile that
keeps you shaking
Looks good,
oh, if that's all she has
Then you won't escape
the empty feeling
Feels right, oh, if that's all you are
Then you're trapped inside the old repeating
So tell me baby,
now that everything's changed
Why it was always right there from the start
Is that the reason why everything's
falling apart?
It's so easy to be running away from
the city that made you a star
That's the reason why everything's
falling apart
That's the reason why
everything's falling apart
you
