As darkness falls so hard
   The children play
  
   Somewhere
   Out there
   Alone and out of place
   Streets of illusion
   Sooth the shattered fate
  
   I've been a runner
   I've been a sinner
   I've been inside my head
   I sit here staring
   Never quite caring
   And this is where it has led
  
   [Chorus]
  
   These streets
   Glitter in the dark
   Don't sleep
   Red eyes sunken and stark
   Dream deep
   In her arms where you are safe
   These streets
   Never sleep still never wake
  
   Somewhere out there
   Gardens bloom and grow
   Children awaken
   To a world they know
  
   Somewhere the sun shines
   Somewhere the light's kind
   Somewhere they seek the day
  
   Somewhere there's no scene
   Somewhere the air's clean
   But somewhere is so far away
  
   These streets
   Glitter in the dark
   Don't sleep
   Red eyes sunken and stark
   Dream deep
   In her arms where you are safe
   These streets
   Never sleep still never wake
  
   Welcome children
   From the other side
   In the darkness
   Your eyes are opened wide
  
   Here there are answers
   On the edge dancers
   Here the night hides out sins
   And if you listen
   While the streets glisten
   Here's where our story begins
  
   These streets
   Glitter in the dark
   Don't sleep
   Red eyes sunken and stark
   Dream deep
   In her arms where you are safe
   These streets
   Never sleep still never wake
