Crazy 8s

These lights and numbers are a bright sign
smoke filled casinos but what do we know we'll take a chance
we're in for cheap thrills and fast rides
spin till we're dizzy, the gamble, the sleep, and now we dance

we stumble up and down the concrete, lead by distraction
the empty attraction keeps up blind
never intending for the complete, like shadows and alley ways
the unknown continues buying time

we're chasing heaven as it fades into black
can't get it back, no we can't get it back
it's like we're running crazy eights round the track
can't wait to come back, can't wait to come back

could you stay with me tonight?
we sleep for dreaming and away it goes
and ill make you believe one last time
in what you're feeling as my heart explodes

we sit and drink up on the cop car
playing illegally the boredom, the fantasy, we're done
ive never ever loved you so hard
but is that reality? we can't face the battle in the dark

we're chasing heaven as it fades into black
can't get it back, no we can't get it back
it's like we're running crazy eights round the track
can't wait to come back, can't wait to come back

could you stay with me tonight?
we sleep for dreaming and away it goes
and ill make you believe one last time
in what you're feeling as my heart explodes

could you stay with me tonight?
we sleep for dreaming and away it goes
and i'll make you believe one last time
in what you're feeling as my heart explodes

we sit, we think, and we figure out just right where to start
as these waters rush together, we keep ripping them apart
is this truth? is this real? is there something more to feel?
do we chase the sensation of lying again?
have we now reached the end, just a final beginning again?

stay with me tonight
we sleep for dreaming and away it goes
and i'll make you believe one last time
in what you're feeling as my heart explodes

could you stay with me tonight?
we sleep for dreaming, away it goes
and i'll make you believe one last time
in what you're feeling as my heart explodes

could you stay with me tonight?
we're chasing heaven as it fades into black

stay with me tonight
it's like we're running crazy eights round the track

could you stay with me tonight?
we're chasing heaven as it fades into black
and i'll make you believe one last time
it's like we're running crazy eights round the track
