==========



As darkness falls so hard

The children play



Somewhere

Out there

Alone and out of place

Streets of illusion

Sooth the shattered fate



I've been a runner

I've been a sinner

I've been inside my head

I sit here staring

Never quite caring

And this is where it has led



Chorus



These streets

Glitter in the dark

Don't sleep

Red eyes sunken and stark

Dream deep

In her arms where you are safe

These streets

Never sleep still never wake



Somewhere out there

Gardens bloom and grow

Children awaken

To a world they know



Somewhere the sun shines

Somewhere the light's kind

Somewhere they seek the day



Somewhere there's no scene

Somewhere the air's clean

But somewhere is so far away



These streets

Glitter in the dark

Don't sleep

Red eyes sunken and stark

Dream deep

In her arms where you are safe

These streets

Never sleep still never wake



Welcome children

From the other side

In the darkness

Your eyes are opened wide



Here there are answers

On the edge dancers

Here the night hides out sins

And if you listen

While the streets glisten

Here's where our story begins



These streets

Glitter in the dark

Don't sleep

Red eyes sunken and stark

Dream deep

In her arms where you are safe

These streets

Never sleep still never wake
