Signs of Life (song)
Midnight
Downtown strip
You stand outside
Illuminated in the neon afterglow
You’re alone
But you don’t want to go home
Waiting for something to happen
Don’t care what it is
Because whatever happens
You need to prove to yourself
You still want to live
Signs…signs of life
You’re just looking for signs
Looking for signs of life…in the night
Cut the cord
And pull the plug
Everything that was
Is now undone
You've been disconnected from love
Searching for a signal
You’re on the street
Nervous to every eye you meet
Staring at your reflection
In a broken a window
You see a stranger's face but you’re alone
Nobody remembers your name
You don’t feel like yourself
But that’s alright
Signs…signs of life
You’re just looking for signs
Looking for signs of life….in the night
Three o’clock in the morning
The night is dragging on
Vampires fill the alleyway
Trying to find one more victim before dawn
You know a lot of people
But you don’t have any friends
You can’t pretend
You need something real
Side step the in-crowd
Down the backstreets
Crossing between shadows and light
Desperation is the local currency
Hope is bought and sold in the night
Feeling messy but looking pretty
Your eyes are dark but the lights are bright
Trying to find the soul of a city
Signs…signs of life
You’re just looking for signs
Looking for signs of life…in the middle of the night
