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
