my girl she's asleep now
fleas leave her, jump to the ground
through a train window
flickering like a film frame
twenty four times a second
me and my girl gonna make it if we try
cos i've been hanging around
my head in my hands
and my feet on the ground
it's been too long
been chasing tears
i'm gonna leave the city
im gonna set sail (x3)
wooooo, oh oh
i fell asleep with the fireflies
but let the moonlight pass me by
on this long and lifeless road we walk on
me and my girl gonna make it if we try
cos i've been hanging around
my head in my hands
and my feet on the ground
it's been too long
been chasing tears
i'm gonna leave the city
im gonna set sail (x3)
wooooo, oh oh
turn out the lights
i see a sign and a sunset, yeah
ah, look at my life
could be a loser baby, could be a loser
but with you i forget, now there is
no use flapping around like a headless chicken
me and my girl gonna make it if we try
cos i've been hanging around
my head in my hands
and my feet on the ground
it's been too long
been chasing tears
i'm gonna leave the city
im gonna set sail (x3)
