it's 5 am, you're sitting at the hotel
looking at your mermaid friend
so many people forgot who you were
now they're calling you up again
it's 5 am, she moves a little closer to you
you're in past your knees, she taps you on your chin
the sea is full of sharks but can you swim

everybody's hiding in the neon lights
the city is a jungle better learn to fight
better learn the difference between church and pray
never let them tell you you can't go your way

everybody's hiding in the neon lights
the city is a jungle better learn to fight
better learn the difference between do and say
never let them tell you you can't go your way

falling down, all way down to oh, oh, love

it's 7:02, you're sitting at the diner
mumbling to the girl in blue
she pours you a drink, the table starts to sink
you hang on but you're falling through
it's 7:02, someone calls your name
somewhere in the rubble there's a flame
somewhere in the dark is your past
telling you to never look back

everybody's hiding in the neon lights
the city is a jungle better learn to fight
better learn the difference between church and pray
never let them tell you you can't go your way

everybody's hiding in the neon lights
the city is a jungle better learn to fight
better learn the difference between do and say
never let them tell you you can't go your way

falling down, all way down to oh, oh, love
falling down, all the way to, to love

everybody's hiding in the neon lights
the city is a jungle better learn to fight
better learn the difference between church and pray
never let them tell you you can't go your way

everybody's hiding in the neon lights
the city is a jungle better learn to fight
better learn the difference between do and say
never let them tell you you can't go your way
