Metaphors

There's no time to speak in metaphors 

turns of phrase are yesterdays 

they're very nice 

please - look up sometimes 

we'll be too far to see inside 

that make believe is not the way 

you want to be 

but that's what you said 

and you know it's true in the nighttime sky 

in the night time sky 

you could see the light 



There's no time to speak in metaphors 

turns of phrase are yesterday 

they're very nice 

something that you'd rather be is farther than 

you'd go 

the flashing signs they're all around 

now you play a game 

that's full of change 

it's not easy - in a world like this 

trying to be around these things 

the metaphors the day to day 

look for change 

and you know it's true 

in the nighttime sky 

in the nighttime sky 

you can still see 

the light
