Floodlight Farewell

The stadium's empty, the floodlights are cold

We're walking backward, the story's been told

He's checking the badge,

yeah he's checking it twice

With a smile on his face,

giving empty advice Just an exit lane,

a missed out frame (oh-oh-oh)

We're leaving the gate

Under the floodlights, the music is gone!

(away, away)

We missed the final spark,

we waited too long!

But we'll run through the dark till the break of the dawn!

He smiles for the camera,

he smiles for the night

A beautiful phantom in artificial light

He means none of it,

it's just for the play As the last yellow headlights fade away

Under the floodlights

(we missed the chance) We missed the chance...
