Lyrics
The lights shine clear through the sodium haze
The night draws near and the daylight fades
Ignore the voices, discard the day
For the brand new darkness, for the bright new way
Hit
There have been better plans, but
None that I could ever understand
Emerald signal, the green on black, the
Lights say move, say never look back and so I
Find another place where I've never been seen
Find another place where the red turns green, where the
Emerald glistens through the darkness again, where the
Emerald glistens through the rain
The lights shine clear through the sodium haze
The night draws near and the daylight fades, but there's a
Voice in the distance, quiet and clear, saying
Something that I never ever wanted to hear
There have been better plans, but
None that I could ever understand, I see the
Emerald, see the signal, see the green on black, I see the
Lights say move, say never look back and so I
Find another place where I'll never be seen
Find another place where the red turns green, where the
Emerald glistens through the darkness again, where the
Emerald glistens through the rain, rain, rain and I'm
Happy here
In the rain
In the rain
In the rain, rain, rain, I'm happy here
In the rain
Where the emerald
Glistens
Through the rain
