Warm summer day a man disappears
Friends and family search for years
No body no clue is ever found
He’s just plain not around…

And deep underground more than a mile
Footsteps echo thru a turnstile
Shadows fall on an iron door
Then are gone for evermore

RIDE, RIDE AWAY
ON THE SUBWAY TO ANOTHER LIFE
GIVE IN TO RAIL AND RELAY
SUBWAY TO ANOTHER LIFE

Pretty young girl in a brite red dress
Never showed for dinner and guests
No body no clue is ever found
She’s just plain not around

Far on down at the end of the line
Squealing breaks shiver the spine
Tunnels stretch like the Rubicon
Cross and your past is gone

CHORUS: REPEAT

Cold winter night who else disappears?
Who’s friends and family will search for years?
Maybe it’s you or maybe it’s me
We’ll both just have to see

CHORUS: REPEAT

World weary in ways no man should ever be
Come close and hold me my anchor in this sea
Of crashing black waves and worn out dreary dreams
So weary, without you

World weary my love, a boxer on the ropes
Bruised up and bleary, but still with hopes
That you will hang around this worn out and shabby town
So weary, without you

One day you and me will sail far to a sea
So easy and blue
One day you and I will drift off on a tide
Counting the stars in the sky

bridge

One day you and me will sail far to a sea
So easy and blue
One day you and I will drift off on a tide
Counting the stars in the sky

World weary in ways no man should ever be
Come close and hold me my anchor in this sea
Of crashing black wave and worn out dreary dreams
So weary, without you
I’m so weary with out you
My love

Let’s sneak to the city
Let’s take a moonlit drive
Let’s do something dangerous to make us feel alive

Daylight piles a thousand eyes
On everything we do
But here at night what’s wrong and right
Shines a different hue

DON’T ASK QUESTIONS DON’T ASK WHY
I’LL TAKE YOU TO
LIFE AT MIDNIGHT
LIFE AT MIDNIGHT

Fog lights haunts the harbor
And neon streaks the skies
Faces leer from alleys
At lovers passing by

So let’s sneak to the city
Let’s take a moonlit drive
Let’s do something dangerous to make us feel alive

CHORUS: REPEAT

bridge

Fog lights haunt the harbor
And neon streaks the skies
Faces leer from alleys
At lovers passing by

So let’s sneak to the city
Let’s take a moonlit drive
Let’s do something dangerous to make us feel alive

CHORUS: REPEAT

Black glasses and a hooded coat I smoke with eyes turned down
Anonymity is a tired joke with all your scopes around
Everything you know
I’ve nothing left to show

SATELLITE, OH SATELLITE
WARDEN OF THE SKY
COLDER THAN A SOVIET NIGHT
LET ME SLIP ON BY
THIS TIME, JUST THIS TIME

Life traced with a database somehow makes me sad
Downtown in a noisy crowd is the only peace to be had
Everything you know
I’ve nothing left to show

CHORUS: REPEAT

bridge

CHORUS: REPEAT

Don’t you sail all alone
I want to be with you tonight
Love is frail and so rarely know
So why do you wander tonight?

You search the skies but what more will you find?
Burning in the stars so brite.

Oh tonight, oh tonight
Why do you wander
Why do you wander tonight
Oh, oh, oh oh,
Why do you wander?

TIME IN THE STORM LEAVES YOU SHIVERING AND WORN
AND ALL THE LIGHT SO FAR BEHIND
OH STAY TONIGHT
ALL NIGHT LONG
STAY TONIGHT

The moon goes pale across a lonely trail
That wanders off into the night

Oh tonight, oh tonight
Why do you wander
Why do you wander tonight
Oh, oh, oh oh,
Why do you wander?

CHORUS: REPEAT
