There's no time to speak in metaphors
turns of phrase are yesterdays
they're very nice
please - look up sometimes
we'll be too far to see inside
that make believe is not the way
you want to be
but that's what you said
and you know it's true in the nighttime sky
in the night time sky
you could see the light
There's no time to speak in metaphors
turns of phrase are yesterday
they're very nice
something that you'd rather be is farther than
you'd go
the flashing signs they're all around
now you play a game
that's full of change
it's not easy - in a world like this
trying to be around these things
the metaphors the day to day
look for change
and you know it's true
in the nighttime sky
in the nighttime sky
you can still see
the light
