Hong Kong

Well I was thinking about how the sun through the clouds
Has a sparkle like a silver screen
Playing all the pictures I don't want to see
Everything that's ever had it's way with me
From memory

Like when I was roaming the street looking for something to eat
And something that might soothe my soul
Found some drinking buddies and they got me stoned
End up in an alley and I'm on my own
Vomit on my shoes I lean against the road
And pass out cold

Well, sometimes we are sleeping and sometimes we are awake
But we won't reach out for each other 'cause that would be a mistake
Hold me underwater or hold me until I break
'Cause I don't want to be believing in something you wouldn't say

And on the island that day, when I told you I'd stay
If you would only give your heart to me
Oh, we really tried, but it was not to be
Rather keep me as a happy memory
Better for the both of us to just be free
Back on my feet

Well sometimes we are sleeping and sometimes we are awake
But we won't reach out for each other 'cause that would be a mistake
Hold me underwater or hold me until I break
'Cause I don't want to be believing in something you wouldn't say

I was thinking about how the sun through the clouds
Keeps on shining but just not for me
