Neon signs and billboards Reflecting in the wet sidewalks I read 'em all The night I went to count the bars And August left a message on my phone \"So long. I'm gone\"
I've washed the floor and locked the door At the diner I was working for Free meals and out of loneliness So I went down the familliar road With money just enough to drink 'til dawn I thought, I hoped
And the moon was on the rise And the traffic lights turned yellow As if they jealous of the light And the night was sweet and calm
Met the boys at Freud's. We Took a couple shots and I went outside To get some air The girl stood there, hands crossed, upset She asked me if I had a cigarette I felt the scent
Of cinnamon and chamomile And I could walk a thousand miles To prove I'm worthy of her smile But we smoked in silence, unaware The summer's ended - and she disappeared \"My cab. Take care\"
And the moon was on the rise And the traffic lights were yellow As if they jealous of the light And the night was sweet and calm
That night the moon was burning bright And the traffic lights were yellow As if they jealous of the light Oh, that night was lonesome, sweet and calm
