Lydia
Lydia
Oh Lydia
Lydia
Well I'm standing here in suspended animation
Inside this rumbling subway station
I'm waiting for a girl so much younger
Everyday the wait just seems a little longer
But I hear the sound of the wheels spitting fire
And I turn around and see my only desire
Lydia
Lydia
Oh Lydia
Lydia
Well I call your name girl and you come a running
Looking like a girl but acting like a woman
You say lets leave this place far behind us
And runaway where no one can find us
Deep in the park, underneath the branches
Far from the buildings and the freeway overpasses
Lydia
Lydia
Oh Lydia
Lydia
Every night the sun goes down
And we walk back to that underground
But in my dreams we fly away
Oh, in my dreams we fly away
Yeah, in my dreams we fly away
Oh, in my dreams we fly away
With Lydia.
(Break)
Deep in the park, underneath the branches
Far from the buildings and the freeway overpasses
Lydia
Lydia
Lydia
Lydia
Lydia
Lydia
Oh Lydia
Lydia
Lydia
I've been standing here
I've been standing here
I'm standing here in suspended animation
