Sparkling Streets Lyrics - The Gc5

When your hopes are batted down like your eyelids 

Where the streets all sparkle like the eyes of kids 

And you rise and wipe the sleep and the stupor from your eyes 

You've been cold and uncompromising 

With ambitions as broad as the horizon 

Tunnel vision focused on a consolation prize 

In your darkest hour 

You're left looking at your shaky hands 

And bits of carefully constructed plans 

And you feel just like a stranger to everyone you see 

Everything they show you 

Says they don't even know you 

So you wave goodbye to your old friends 

And you greet new enemies 

In your darkest hour 

Wasted your daylight on the death of feeling bad 

Stuck in this rut all afternoon 

No place to go, no face to know 

No angel watching you 

You're all alone now in your darkest hour 

The minutes tick by in no man's land 

And you've lost it all on a dead man's hand 

Your delusions are so much dust, and there's no one you can trust 

You're wondering when it'll ever end 

You wave goodbye to old enemies and meet new friends 

You pick yourself up and get back on your feet 

On those sparkling streets
