There's a city of lunatics
Next to the second pile of bricks
See the girl with the bag of tricks
She's naïve or romantic

I woke up out of a dream
The morning paper made quite a scene
I knew they lied when they said time machine
I don't think my friends understand what I mean

I got the only light in the street still burning
I got the only light in the street still burning
I got the only light in the street still burning
(I can't help but running for)

That place, back in the day
I wanna live again
Even though I know I must have that promised too back then
That place, back in the day
I wanna live again
Even though I know I must have that promised too back then

I never knew about society
Reading between the lines is new for me
She was the lady from across the street
Always help out a person when in need

I wrote my name upon the wall
then they caught me climbing up on town hall
Comming mommy you collect call
Coming see a lady goes out of the mall


I got the only light in the street still burning
I got the only light in the street still burning
I got the only light in the street still burning
(I can't help but running for)

That place, back in the day
I wanna live again
Even though I know I must have that promised too back then
That place, back in the day
I wanna live again
Even though I know I must have that promised too back then
(4x)

Even though I know I must have that promised too back then
Yeah
Even though I know I must have that promised too back then
(I can't help but running for that)
(I can't help but running for that)
oh, oh, oh
(I can't help but running for)
oh, oh, oh
I can't, I can't oh

That place, back in the day
I wanna live again
Even though I know I must have that promised too back then
