We left the bar at half past god knows when
The bottles were all empty
I drank the genie down with the rest
And I know I take this road a little too often
But a soul-searching wander under moonlight
Is probably for the best
I stumbled through the city streets at night
Brain marinating
In a whiskey cocktail of my own creation, then
I heard whispers in the shadows
Of the alleyways and darkened places
Haunted by the faces of the memories
From way back when
We sang in that night
We raised the roof, howled at the moon
Between those towers of stone
And we danced into that night
My shadow disappeared into the darkness
And left me on my own
In alleyways untouched by moonlight
I smelt the danger
The enigmatic presence of a stranger passing by
In the shadows, there was someone creeping,
In doorways there were people sleeping,
No roof above their heads
And a rack of iron nails for their beds, yeah
And we sang in that night
We raised the roof, howled at the moon
Between those towers of stone
And we danced into that night
My shadow disappeared into the darkness
And left me on my own
The headlights of the taxis
Drown out the light of stars above
Every heavy step drags me a little bit
Closer back to those I love
I know I'm as messed up
As these city streets through which I roam
Now all that I want is
To be back home
And we sang in that night
We raised the roof, howled at the moon
Between those towers of stone
And we danced into that night
My shadow disappeared into the darkness
And left me on my own
It left me on my own
It left me on my own
My shadow disappeared into the darkness
And left me on my own
The next day when sun breaks through
The misty morning air
The city puts its mask back on and
Shines without a care
But I saw its soul last night
Or maybe it saw mine
But in the misty morning sunlight
At least everything
Looks like it's all fine
We left the bar at half past god knows when
The bottles were all empty
I drank the genie down with the rest
And I know I take this road a little too often
But a soul-searching wander under moonlight
Is probably for the best
I stumbled through the city streets at night
Brain marinating
In a whiskey cocktail of my own creation, then
I heard whispers in the shadows
Of the alleyways and darkened places
Haunted by the faces of the memories
From way back when
We sang in that night
We raised the roof, howled at the moon
Between those towers of stone
And we danced into that night
My shadow disappeared into the darkness
And left me on my own
In alleyways untouched by moonlight
I smelt the danger
The enigmatic presence of a stranger passing by
In the shadows, there was someone creeping,
In doorways there were people sleeping,
No roof above their heads
And a rack of iron nails for their beds, yeah
And we sang in that night
We raised the roof, howled at the moon
Between those towers of stone
And we danced into that night
