[Verse 1]
The lights shine clear
Through the sodium haze
The night draws near
And the daylight fades
Ignore the voices
Discard the day
For the brand-new darkness
For the bright new way

[Post-Verse]
Hit

[Chorus]
Well, there have been better plans
But none that I could ever understand
Emerald signal, the green on black
The lights say, "Move," say, "Never look back"
And so I find a place where I've never been seen
Find another place where the red turns green
Where the emerald glistens through the darkness again
Where the emerald glistens through the rain

[Verse 2]
The lights shine clear
Through the sodium haze
The night draws near
And the daylight fades
But there's a voice in the distance
Quiet and clear
Saying something that I
Never, ever wanted to hear
[Chorus]
Well, there have been better plans
But none that I could ever understand
I see the emerald signal see the green on black
I see the lights say, "Move," say, "Never look back"
And so I find another place where I'll never been seen
Find another place where the red turns green
Where the emerald glistens through the darkness again
Where the emerald glistens through the rain, rain, rain

[Outro]
And I'm happy here
In the rain
In the rain
In the rain, rain, rain
I'm happy here
In the rain
Where the emerald
Glistens
Through the rain
