Whispering

Measure out the day in tablespoons of caffeine
It’s 8 o’clock in the morning and I’m still too drunk to dream
I read the Sunday paper, leave my Bible up there on the shelf
I don’t believe in angels but I still believe in Hell
Maybe I’ll come around

City lights shine down upon the streets of NYC
Reflecting off the cars and all the people that you see
There’s no sound coming out of the speaker, my radio’s been stolen
The only sound I hear is ringing in my head

CHORUS
There’s no more time for me to stay here
Waste another minute I may spend another year
Thoughts erase those feelings in my head
Whispering you’ll see the stars tonight

Little bits of paper blowing about these city streets
Put on a smile to greet the faces that you meet
I used to look for answers now the questions are all spining in my head
Guess I left who I used to be laying underneath my bed

Dollars falling down a stream of money off to sea
Visit such a place and you may never wanna leave
There’s a path to take me home so I will know the way
No I don’t wanna live in the sea

CHORUS

Still whispering you’ll see the stars tonight
Whispering you’ll see the stars tonight
Whispering you’ll see the stars tonight
Whispering you’ll see the stars tonight
