Well, you were happy where you were
But that girl she wheeled you in
This time was never good enough
‘Cause she was gone and seen everything
And if you ever spoke of love
She just smiled and put you down
‘Cause she was making all the plans
She had a vision of light and sound

She said the neon on the river will light my way
And everything that we’ve been dreaming of making real one day
So save your money pack your bags
We better run before we disappear
She took the train into the city but you’re still here

You hear a song that takes you back
The song long for God tonight
And friends who said they hang your back
But they just turned them round and let you fight
And on the bowling alley wall
You used all your smartest minds
But they’ll be painted over now
Looks like here gonna get left behind

She said the neon on the river will light my way
And all the things that we’ve been dreaming of making real one day
So save your money, pack your bags
I wanna run with you on Stamford hill
She took the train into the city but you stood still

You stood still about the train
You knew as you watched her go
That she wan never coming back
And start to places that you know
You said you’re scared if I
And that didn’t want to go
Where everyone else goes

She said the neon on the river will light my way
And everything that we’ve been dreaming of making real one day
So save your money, pack your bags
We better run before we disappear
She took the train into the city but you’re still here
She took the train into the city but you’re still here
