lyrics
CIVILIZATION
still, time stood for me
to show we needed sympathy
i understand better from a distance, we were only lost
we were blue like the veins
running rivers down your face
we'll carry on in civilization
the skyline in the night had never looked so real
strangers in a city dead for dreamers
idling satellites, looking in
where do we belong, without a place in civilization?
where do we belong, without a place in civilization?
midnight wrapped around me
i felt the coldest touch of absence fall upon these streets
in shadows lie, turn to face reflections to feel not so alone
we never choose these battles in isolation, they're never won
so carry on in civilization
the skyline in the night had never looked so real
strangers in a city dead for dreamers
idling satellites, looking in
where do we belong, without a place in civilization?
where do we belong, without a place in civilization?
still, time stood for me
to show we needed sympathy
i understand better from a distance, we were only lost
we were blue like the veins
running rivers down your face
we'll carry on in civilization
the skyline in the night had never looked so real
strangers in a city dead for dreamers
idling satellites, looking in
where do we belong, without a place in civilization?
where do we belong, without a place in civilization?
midnight wrapped around me
i felt the coldest touch of absence fall upon these streets
in shadows lie, turn to face reflections to feel not so alone
we never choose these battles in isolation, they're never won
so carry on in civilization
the skyline in the night had never looked so real
strangers in a city dead for dreamers
idling satellites, looking in
where do we belong, without a place in civilization?
where do we belong, without a place in civilization?

Memories and Comeback Kid were my first introduction to this band. From then on - I've always gone to the Midnight for easy listening. Waiting for a bus - Standing in line - Going grocery shopping and pretty much everywhere and anywhere. You can listen to this track over and over again and I feel like it doesn't get old.
