[Verse 1]

I wake up in the evening

The sun is still around

The street seems to be busy

I hear the traffic sounds

Last night's been lousy

I had a lot to drink

Too many dry Martini's

And cans of beer to sink


[Chorus]

Another day

Already night

Blue neon light

Blue neon light


[Verse 2]

I could call Mariana

Ask her to meet me now

I think I lost her number

It's too late anyhow

I could put on the TV

Or I could stay in bed

Decisions drive me crazy

Decisions drive me mad


[Chorus]

Another day

Already night

Blue neon light

Blue neon light


[Guitar Solo]


[Verse 3]

Night is near

But I'm still in bed

Red curtain, soft wind, sunlight

And all is red

All the papers on the floor

Really what's the sense?

People push and pull it

Must drive another lens

My head's still full of poison

What I do is insane

I should perhaps move out of here

Or take a plane to Spain


[Instrumental Chorus]


[Bridge]

Refrigerator's noise

Plug it out, the only choice

Should I get up right now

Wait for me somehow

Don't wanna know what for

To get out of this door

Should I phone Debbie Meier?

Is that the one desire?

I look into the mirror

My eyes can't be in error

The sun's not really gone

Perhaps I am the one

Nothing concrete in sight

I'm turning on the lights


[Outro]

Turning on the lights

I'm turning on the lights

I'm turning on the lights

I'm turning on the lights

I'm turning on the lights

I'm turning on the lights

The sun's not really gone

Perhaps I am the one
