hold back the night
the streets are filled with laughter
soon i'll be after 
you once [bad word] to my house and
say we're friends
i can't help but see

where did you go to?
my little child
i cannot help but see

and your pockets with plenty
soon they'll be empty
once again

and the waves of reason
guilty of treason
once again
stop all the seasons
the sun and the rain
until you stop believin'

turn on the lights
i cannot see where [bad word] future [bad word]
