[Verse 1]

A million to one outsiders

Night blindness, can't see

Your bright eyes or what the time is

Twenty-five past eternity

Here listening to the sirens

Coming closer, now further away


[Chorus]

What we gonna do when the money runs out?

I wish that there was something left to say

Where we gonna find the eyes to see a brighter day?


[Verse 2]

I'm sick of all the same old answers

Last chances, cold stones

Propping mountains up on matchsticks

Dragging baskets full of bones

And honey please don't stop your talking

'Cause there's a feeling won't leave me alone


[Chorus]

What we gonna do when the money runs out?

I wish that there was something I could say

How we gonna find the eyes to see a brighter day?

What we gonna do when the money runs out?

I wish that there was something left to say

How we gonna find the eyes to see a brighter day?


[Outro]

A brighter day

A brighter day
