Afternoon fading to a tone of blue,

soon I'll be running out of things to do.

The heat of July clinging to my skin,

yeah, I'll let the night begin.



Closing the door I can feel the streets,

the music of chance and the broken beats.

Roaming the town I smell the humid air,

yeah, you're out there somewhere,

always.



So real, so right, so good by night,

come play for me.

So real, so right, so out of sight, 

yeah, just never meant to be.



Walking down alleys with forgotten names,

whispering curses and dispensing blames.

Remembering phrases of forgotten vows,

yeah, I'm gonna stop it somehow,

always.



So real, so right, so good by night,

come play for me.

So real, so right, so out of sight, 

yeah, just never meant to be.



na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na...



I see a lot of places, 

people passing by and

faces glowing in the dark.

I cry just a little, 

fall just a little,

rambling down the street again

on my way back home.



So real, so right.

 

So real, so right, so good by night,

come play for me.

So real, so right, so out of sight, 

yeah, just never meant to be.

Come play for me.

So real, so right, so out of sight, 

yeah, just never meant to be.
