Hanging out beneath a bloodshot moon
At a bus stop on a side street in a suburb of a city
I know it’s a long, long way ‘til dawn
Just a battered-up copy of Catch 22
A six-pack and a Walkman, it’s always seen me through
Electric lights roll on and on

Last train’s gone, man, the temperatures are dropping
This place is one big mall, but there ain’t nobody shopping tonight
So all dressed down and nowhere to go
I see a mohawk silhouette through the Nightliner window
As the band rolls out of town
I see the band roll out of town

And I’ve seen them rise
I’ll watch them fall
I wrote their lyrics on the car park wall
And I’ve seen you come
I’ll watch you go
One night in Neu-Isenburg for that gig twelve years ago

Forward wind a dozen years or so
I find a bus stop on a side street in a suburb of a city I know
It’s a long, long time ago
I see that battered-up copy of Catch-22
The six-pack and the Walkman, man they always saw me through
Electric lights roll on and on...

And I’ve seen them rise
I’ll watch them fall
I wrote their lyrics on the car park wall
And I’ve seen you come
I watched you go
One night in Neu-Isenburg, I fell in love twelve years ago
