Crazy 8s

These lights and numbers are a bright sign
Smoke-filled casinos, but what do we know we'll take a chance
Looking for cheap thrills and fast rides
Spin till we're dizzy, the gamble, the sleep and now we dance

We stumble up and down the concrete
Led by distraction, the empty attraction keeps us blind
Never intending for the complete
Like shadows and alleyways, the unknown continues biding time

We're chasing heaven as it fades into black
Can't get it back, no, we can't get it back
It's like we're running crazy 8s 'round the track
Can't wait to come back, can't wait to come back

[Chorus]
Could you stay with me tonight?
We sleep for dreaming and away it goes
And I'll make you believe one last time
And let you feel it as my heart explodes

We sit and drink up on the cop car
Playing illegally, the boredom of fantasy, we're done
I've never, ever loved you so hard, but is that reality
We can't face the battle in the dark

We're chasing heaven as it fades into black
Can't get it back, no, we can't get it back
It's like we're running crazy 8s 'round the track
Can't wait to come back, can't wait to come back

[Chorus x2]

We sit, we think, and we figure out just right where to start
As these waters rush together, we keep ripping them apart
Is this truth? Is this real? Is there something more to feel?
Do we chase the sensation of lying uphill?
Have we now reached the end...just to find the beginning again?

Stay with me tonight
We sleep for dreaming and away it goes
And I'll make you believe one last time
And let you feel it as my heart explodes

[Chorus]

Could you stay with me tonight?
We're chasing heaven as it fades into black
Stay with me tonight
It's like we're running crazy 8s 'round the track
Could you stay with me tonight?
We're chasing heaven as it fades into black
And I'll make you believe one last time
It's like we're running crazy 8s 'round the track
