At the end of the road where I learned to fly
Her nose keeps bleeding I don't know why
The world changed, never did me no harm
Daytime antiques on demand

Seven days, a thousand nights away

And her voice said no you won't go far
Changing the world from the back of your car
You can build Rome in half a day
If you weren't asleep in your marmalade

Seven days, a thousand nights away

I shut my eyes, maybe I disappear
Maybe tonight, maybe next year
I shut my eyes, maybe it's the right way
To be seven days, a thousand nights away

And the devil stopped dancing in your clothes
Cause he had no interest in your soul. There was
Long days and tears were cried
On the backstreets under moonlit skies
On the ocean just before sundown
We were young then, but are we still young now

I shut my eyes, maybe I disappear
Maybe tonight, maybe next year
I shut my eyes, maybe it's the right way
To be seven days, a thousand nights away

And I think of you as the lights go down
On an unknown stage, in an unknown town
Find a bar with the lights still on
Go drinking all night long
We are here; this is happening now

Da da da da da, da da da
Da da da da da, da da da
Da da da da da, da da da
Da da da da da, da da da
Da da da da da, da da da
Da da da da da, da da da
Da da da da da, da da da
Da da da da da, da, da, da

[In live versions it might be replaced by this:]

[I see your eyes, when I sleep
In the night so cold
I can barely breathe
I see your eyes, when I sleep
Like two black holes
Creeping up on me
And I see your eyes
When I sleep
In the night so cold
I can hear you breathe
And I see your eyes, when I sleep
Like two black holes]

I shut my eyes, maybe I disappear
In the morning light, we never belonged here
I shut my eyes, tell him that it didn't go to waste
He's just seven days, a thousand nights away
He's just seven days, a thousand nights away
