Someone

[Verse 1]
Neon lights glare
As your eyes stare
Deep into the night
You so gently
Turn and leave me
Melting in the night
Phantom faces
Fake embraces
Floating where we kissed
No consoling
You're controlling
Every beat that I missed
Feeling your hunger
Ringing your number
Listening to your voice
I'm drunk and I'm calling
Tripping and falling
Wishing I had a choice

[Verse 2]
Someone's got a lover
And someone's got a gun
Someone's having nightmares
While others have fun
Someone's in thе basement
Sitting in the dark
Feeling somе resentment
Shooting at the park

[Verse 3]
Someone's needing money
Trying hard to please
Failing to be funny
On his hands and his knees
Someone's on the meattrack
Looking far too young
Running from a police trap
Feeling highly strung
Need a friend here
There's no help near
I'm giving up the ghost
I never could see
Why you left me
When I needed you most

[Sax Solo]

[Verse 4]
Dark eyes flashing
Young girls laughing
Fill my night with dreams
Every action
Has attraction
But never what it seems

[Verse 5]
Eating my heart out
Acting a part out
Sleeping outside your door
Wanting to touch you
Wanting so much to
Lie by your side once more

[Verse 6]
Someone's on a knife edge
Spinning heads and tails
Living on a high ledge
Hanging by his nails
Someone's on the rooftop
Trying hard to jump
Really needs a long drop
So his heart can pump

Someone's taking tablets
To see them through the night
Someone's got a suntan
From an endless flight
Sleeping in the back room
Naked on the bed
Dreaming of a bridegroom
But morning comes instead

Someone's eyes are manic
Searching for a home
Children dialing panic
On the telephone
Shadows in the valley
Rumours running rife
Someone's in the alley
Adding up his life
