I look at the world and its patrons

Clicking along with a smile

Oh how I wish I could join them

For a little while

I look in your eyes and wonder who's there

Smile and wonder when you'll leave

I wonder how long it takes you

To deceive

I need to shine . . . shine

You walk away, but I don't cry

I send you away with a smile and a sigh

I don't know you but you've

Made a part of me die

I need to shine . . . shine

With you I'm as cold as the morning

As dry as the evening sky

I don't know you but you've

Made a part of me die

I need to shine
