The lights shine clear through the sodium haze
The night draws near and the daylight fades
Ignore the voices, discard the day
For the brand new darkness, for the bright new way

There have been better plans
But none that I could ever understand
I see the emerald signal, see the green on black
See the lights they move, saying never look back

And so I find another place, where I'll never been seen
Find another place, where the red turns green
Where the emerald glistens through the darkness again
Where the emerald glistens through the rain

The lights shine clear through the sodium haze
The night draws near and the daylight fades
But there's a voice in the distant, quiet and clear
Saying something that I never ever wanted to hear

There have been better plans
But none that I could ever ever understand
I see the emerald, see the signal, see the green on black
I See the lights they move, saying never look back

And so I find another place, where I'll never been seen
Find another place, where the red turns green
Where the emerald glistens through the darkness again
Where the emerald glistens through the rain, rain, rain

I'm happy here in the rain
In the rain, In the rain, rain
