bassline and initial melody from "After the Lights Go Out" by The Walker Brothers
lyrics
as the sun goes down
the light inside my life is growing dim
and the world outside
is tempting me along my basest whims
I wish that I knew how
to break it down and start over again
in a thousand years
they’ll dig up our embarrassed skeletons
I study the way that everyone copes
is it heartache pushing us along this tightrope?
if I stumble lose my balance and then I fall
there is no one there to catch us no one at all
we’re alone
just you n me
on the city street
I look into the eyes of passersby
and on their own two feet
they swear that they are not that bad of guy
but put a gun in their hand
they’ll point it at whomever has to die
because they understand
that’s what you gotta do to get by
I study the way that everyone copes
is it heartache pushing us along this tightrope?
if I stumble lose my balance and then I fall
there is no one there to catch us no one at all
we’re alone we’re alone
just you n me
