Vacant nights, synthetic lights   Back where it started, no place left to go this time   The discount wine has clouded my mind   So I'll just have one more drink - and spill more ink   Let's raise a glass to burning bridges   Set's the same, the players change   So bundle up kid, now you can't go home      Salad days - box 'em up and let it pour   Step back, then light a match and close the door   I guess that's just River City for you      Step outside, watch cars collide   Just keep on moving all in the past   Stop lights dark in Highland Park   I take a right make footprints in new snow   Next year the skies look clear   An optimist like January   One weak smile, I've walked for miles   I check the time, turn, inhale deep, and go      Take in the moonlight, reflecting on strange times   As seen through famine-stricken eyes   Just try to walk on
