Didn't really notice
That the sun was goin' down
All that's left are the streetlights
Of this lazy desert town
Didn't really notice
That I'm all alone again
'Cause that's the way
That it's always been
If it weren't for streetlights
There would be no light at all
Casting a shadow on my wall
My lonely wall
Whatching the tail lights
From the corner of my eye
The moon and the stars must have picked
Another part of the sky
Didn't really notice
That I haven't got a friend
'Cause that's the way
That it's always been
If it weren't for the streetlights
There would be no light at all
Casting a shadow on my wall
My lonely wall
The stars of a city
Glowing ten miles away
I don't know why that makes it seem
So much farther away
Don't really care
That I'm all alone agian
'Cause that's the way
That it's always been
If it weren't for the streetlights
There would be no light at all
Casting a shadow on my wall
My four lonely walls
