Barlights

[Verse 1]

Never in all my life

Have I seen eyes as empty as

These streets of my city on a Saturday night

But the green of your eyes say go

Leave it all behind

But I don't need to be reminded a change is gonna come

I can feel it on the tip of your tongue

And I feel alive, feel alive

We met up once we settled the sun

Between the heat and the work week

The fear is we could use some sleep

But sleep to the superfluous man means better use for beds

And I'll bet I'm coming home alone tonight

I don't need to be reminded that this is how it was

I moved on, I passed a billboard down my block

It asked if I had enough, and aloud I'll say "I had too much"

When the truth is, I'm just getting started

[Chorus]

Now all the barlights are blinking in time

To Mexican music it's taunting the pavement

And I feel alive, I feel alive

I feel alive

[Verse 2]

One of us sings and one of us drinks

And one of us does nothing at all

So they call us all sheep

Well I'm the Little Bo Peep of the bunch

And he swears he's gotta take this call

I'm scared he's gonna leave us too soon

We were the get-rich-quick kids, we never got it right

So we settled for the center of town

Where all the rich white kids is out looking for a fight

Got the blonde one staring me down

And I really wanna take a swing

I can't help but remember James Dean

See we are part of the few who agree

That hey, he lived life fast, but he died

He died, he died

Me, I'm gonna live forever

[Bridge]

(I feel alive)

I think I'm gonna live forever

(I feel alive)

I know I'm gonna live forever

[Outro]

Now all the barlights are blinking in time

To Mexican music, it's taunting the pavement

And for the first time, in a long time

I feel alive

Now all the barlights are blinking in time

To Mexican music, it's taunting the pavement

And for the first time, in a long time

I feel alive

Now all the barlights

To Mexican music

Oh, I feel alive, I feel alive

And for the first time, in a long time

I feel alive, I feel alive
