Stay (Faraway, So Close!)

Lyrics

Green light, Seven Eleven
 You stop in for a pack of cigarettes
 You don't smoke, don't even want to
 Hey, now, check your change
 Dressed up like a car crash
 Your wheels are turnin' but you're upside down
 You say when he hits you you don't mind
 ♪
 Because when he hurts you you feel alive
 Oh, no, 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 who's around
 You used to stay in to watch the adverts
 You could lip-sync to the talk shows
 And if you look, you look through me
 And when you talk, you talk at me
 And when I touch you, you don't 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
 
 Faraway, 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 can't call
 And if you jump, you just might fall
 And if you shout, I'll 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
 Oh-oh-oh, ooh
 Oh-oh-oh, ooh
 Oh-oh-oh, ooh
 Oh-oh-oh, ooh
 Three o'clock in the morning
 It's quiet, there's 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
