Stay (Faraway, So Close!)

Green light - Seven Eleven
You stop in for a pack of cigarettes
You dont smoke, dont even want to
Hey now - check your change
Dressed up like a car crash
The wheels are turning but youre upside down
You say when he hits you, you dont mind
Because when he hurts you, you feel alive
Is that what it is?
Red lights, grey morning
You stumble out of a hole in the ground
A vampire or a victim
It depends on whos around
You used to stay in to watch the adverts
You could lip synch to the talk shows

And if you look, you look through me
And when you talk its not to me
And when I touch you, you dont feel a thing

If I could stay - then the night would give you up
Stay, and the day would keep its trust
Stay, and the night would be enough

Far away, so close
Up with the static and the radio
With satellite television you can go anywhere
Miami, New Orleans, London, Belfast and Berlin

And if you listen I cant call
And if you jump, you just might fall
And if you shout Ill only hear you

If I could stay - then the night would give you up
Stay - then the day would keep its trust
Stay with the demons you drowned
Stay with the spirit I found
Stay, and the night would be enough

Three oclock in the morning
Its quiet and theres no one around
Just the bang and the clatter
As an angel runs to ground
Just the bang and the clatter
As an angel hits the ground
