I heard you were in the back
Playing hard with your eye contact
Picking fights for the laughs
Oh do you talk to your mother like that?
Haven't you heard the news?
Well you got sick old fashioned views
And nobody's ever gonna agree
'Cause you walk through the irony

I wouldn't get that far, I wouldn't get that far

Eddie's in the cold blue light
Clinging on to Friday night
Watching everyone pass by
Fading away
And Eddie's in the cold blue light
Prowling on the weak and high
Oh it's such a faithless fight
They can see through it

So I watch the world participate
In its recurring moving state
And hope that all this fear will come to pass
So I watch thе world participate
In its recurring moving state
And hope that all this fear will turn to black

And there's a girl dancing by your side
You grab her wrist and pull her behind
Think you're a king 'cause you were in that show
But darlin' that was seven years ago
Is it some effort to replicate your youth?
You're nearly thirty and you can't face up to truth
So you abuse and terrify the young
Well I hope someone cuts out your tongue

I wouldn't get that far, I wouldn't get that far

Eddie's in the cold blue light
Clinging on to Friday night
Watching everyone pass by
Fading away
And Eddie's in the cold blue light
Prowling on the weak and high
Oh it's such a faithless fight
They can see through it

So I watch the world participate
In its recurring moving state
And hope that all this fear will come to pass
So I watch the world participate
In its recurring moving state
And hope that all this fear will turn to black
