Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
Traveling with no destination No place to go Nameless towns with faceless people No place I know Time to close my mind and drift off To other scenes Lose myself in glossy pages Dull magazines Moments pass by, oh so slowly Makes me lonely too Twisting street light, in the darkness Makes me lonely too Ah The Damned Don't Cry No The Damned Don't Cry Climbing smoke climbs upward slowly Past my trembling face I see myself in rain soaked windows In a different place Single heartbeats in the dim light Makes me lonely too Hearing sounds of celebrations Makes me lonely too
