== Lyrics ==


The lights shine clear through the sodium haze<br/>
The night draws near and the daylight fades<br/>
Ignore the voices, discard the day<br/>
For the brand new darkness, for the bright new way<br/>
Hit<br/>
There have been better plans, but<br/>
None that I could ever understand<br/>
Emerald signal, the green on black, the<br/>
Lights say move, say never look back and so I<br/>
Find another place where I've never been seen<br/>
Find another place where the red turns green, where the<br/>
Emerald glistens through the darkness again, where the<br/>
Emerald glistens through the rain<br/>


The lights shine clear through the sodium haze<br/>
The night draws near and the daylight fades, but there's a<br/>
Voice in the distance, quiet and clear, saying<br/>
Something that I never ever wanted to hear<br/>


There have been better plans, but<br/>
None that I could ever understand, I see the<br/>
Emerald, see the signal, see the green on black, I see the<br/>
Lights say move, say never look back and so I<br/>
Find another place where I'll never be seen<br/>
Find another place where the red turns green, where the<br/>
Emerald glistens through the darkness again, where the<br/>
Emerald glistens through the rain, rain, rain and I'm<br/>
Happy here<br/>
In the rain<br/>
In the rain<br/>
In the rain, rain, rain, I'm happy here<br/>
In the rain<br/>
Where the emerald<br/>
Glistens<br/>
Through the rain<br/>
