You walk me through the park where all the dark spots lit by snow You talk me through my part as if you’re starring the show I hate you ‘cause of the way these Gotham snowflakes lick your hair I hate you ‘cause I need you, ‘cause I know that you don’t care You remind me I’m no longer young
It’s the 20th of December, Santa’s looking kind of worn The windows shine like embers and every year there’s more I don’t think I look much older, but I’m not the one to ask Nostalgia’s getting bolder with every day that pass It reminds me I’m no longer young
Back then the streets were paved with light As if this town was built by night And our steps like hyperspace flight In a universe that was ours by right
You look at me through lenses of ideas that were never mine You’re shooting cross the trenches, in the world war of your mind You’ve gone and hit old Sancho between the halo and the eyes Bet he didn’t see it coming, just the tunnel and the light
So go away and pray baby, come back when you can cry It’s Christmas time remember, the least you should do is try The 90’s like the weak link in the chain around my heart And the peace I’ve built within it, is like an island off the charts You step in like a tow truck, and tear my world apart Yawning like a housecat playing cruelly with a mouse You’re shouting cross the trenches, to steal my peace of mind It was you who killed the angels, you the greatest lover of all time You’re just a petty thief now in the universe of small crime You remind me I’m no longer young
Back then the streets were paved with light As if this town was built by night And our steps like hyperspace flight In a universe that was ours by right
