When The World
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We're coming close to sunrise
Lights burn red in your streets
Stay faithful
I'm sure of these feelings
We're coming close to sunrise
Lights burn red in your streets
Stay faithful
I'm sure of these feelings
[chorus]
When the world is no longer watching
When the world is no longer watching
Stay faithful to your drug
When the world is no longer watching
When the world is no longer watching
Stay faithful to your drug
People sell themselves
There's a fashion to their smiles
You often need comfort
Raising my eyes to you
People sell themselves
There's a fashion to their smiles
You often need comfort
Raising my eyes to you
[chorus]
