From out of this darkness and into the day

From these rivers of headlights, these rivers of rain

From the anger that lives on the streets with these names

'Ccos I've run every red light on memory lane

I've seen desperation explode into flames

From all of these signs saying sorry but we're closed
Fb B Fb
all the way down the telegraph road
