Stay (Faraway, So Close!)
Green light, Seven ElevenYou stop in for a pack of cigarettesYou don't smoke, don't even want toHey now, check your changeDressed up like a car crashYour wheels are turning but you're upside downYou say when he hits you, you don't mindBecause when he hurts you, you feel aliveHey babe, is that what it isRed lights, gray morningYou stumble out of a hole in the groundA vampire or a victimIt depend's on who's aroundYou used to stay in to watch the advertsYou could lip synch to the talk shows
And if you look, you look through meAnd when you talk, you talk at meAnd when I touch you, you don't feel a thing
If I could stay...Then the night would give you upStay...and the day would keep its trustStay...and the night would be enough
Faraway, so closeUp with the static and the radioWith satelite televisionYou can go anywhereMiami, New OrleansLondon, Belfast and Berlin
And if you listen I can't callAnd if you jump, you just might fallAnd if you shout, I'll only hear you
If I could stay...Then the night would give you upStay...then the day would keep its trustStay...with the demons you drownedStay...with the spirit I foundStay...and the night would be enough
Three o'clock in the morningIt's quiet and there's no one aroundJust the bang and the clatterAs an angel runs to ground
Just the bangAnd the clatterAs an angelHits the ground
