Lyrics

Strange Lights

What direction should we choose?

We're lost and still confused

I walk into the sun

With you, the only one

Who understood the ways

The hours become days

The weeks turn into months

We walk into the sun

So glad to have a guide

Less lonely for the ride

And should this car ascend

At least I'm with a friend

In space all things are slow

No sound with speakers blown

The silence fits the scene

The prince is now the king

We walk into the sun

We walk but cannot run

Because walking's half the fun

We walk into the sun

And neon blurs my sight

I'm guided by strange lights

And I'm rattled and I'm stunned

As I walk into the sun
