May 1, 1990 Lyrics - Adrian Belew

I lived inside a tear 

Time magnified my fear 

That the world around me 

Was only getting more severe 

On May 1, 1990 

Something changed inside me 

And I, I saw the stars align 

And I knew that it was meant to be 

I didn't know at the time 

My heart was on the line 

But the world was turning 

And suddenly the sun was shining 

On May 1, 1990 

Something changed inside me 

And I, I saw the stars align 

And I knew that it was meant to be 

In a city by the sun 

A city by the sun 

In a city by the sun 

Maybe when you saw me then 

You thought I had the world at my feet 

Maybe when you looked again 

You saw how I was empty 

In a city by the sun 

In a city by the sun 

On May 1, 1990 

Something changed inside me 

And I, I saw the stars align 

And I knew that it was meant to be 

In a city by the sun 

In a city by the sun
