Hey, the streetlights all burn out Une annee sans lumieres Je monte un cheval Qui porte des oeilleres Hey, my eyes are shooting sparks La nuit, mes yeux
I am waitin' 'til I don't know when, cause I'm sure it's gonna happen then. Time keeps creepin' through the neighborhood, killing old folks, wakin' up
