Nightlife

Searching for ways to ease my mind
I don't wanna be alone to tonight

Trying to resist, to resist, the call of the night
When just for a few hours, the streets seem so alive
Yes I'm looking for a little company
A one-time partner in crime, don't you think it could be alright?

Oh, I know, yes I know, it's not the way to fix my life
And this is not where any answers lie
But somewhere amid all the sirens and lights
A temporary fix is what I'm hoping to find

Out in the streets, it's what the game's about
Out in the streets, I am lost, could you be found?

So this is how, the deal goes down
Scanning the room when the lights go out
Searching for ways to stop my mind
From telling me I threw away what I'm trying to find

Yes it's lonely when you just need one for the road
And once again you're doing it all on your own
Repeat your best lines, maybe for the hundredth time
Oh, and by the way the barmaid - she's being polite

Out in the streets, it's what the game's about
Out in the streets, I am lost, could you be found?

So this is how, the deal goes down
Scanning the room when the lights go out
Searching for ways to stop my mind
From telling me I threw away what I'm trying to find

This is not the way to ease my mind
Don't even know what I'm expecting to find
Looking for my soulmate, hoping for my twin
Almost had it all but I couldn't keep the light in
Out on the town, all alone in a crowd
It's never gonna happen here, I keep looking anyway

So this is how, the deal goes down
Scanning the room when the lights go out
Looking for a pair of eyes I recognise
The ones it's taken a lifetime to try and find

Yes this is how the shit plays out
Alone at the bar in an inappropriate crowd
Searching for ways to ease my mind
Cos I don't wanna be alone tonight
