From the recording Fluorescent Hours
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Red lights shrink at the end of the road The 11:40 with its one-man load I could have run, I let it leave Hands in my pockets, rain on my sleeve
[Chorus]
The last bus goes and I stay behind Two miles of streetlamp to clear my mind Nobody waiting, nothing to prove the town stands still and I finally move
[Verse 2]
Chip shop steam and a closing pub Somebody's taxi, somebody's club the pavement shines like a rolled-out sky I walk on stars and the puddles dry
[Chorus]
The last bus goes and I stay behind Two miles of streetlamp to clear my mind Nobody waiting, nothing to prove the town stands still and I finally move
[Bridge]
Tomorrow I'll queue like everyone does Coins in my hand for the early bus but tonight the streets belong to the rain and me — and I'd miss it again
[Chorus]
The last bus goes and I stay behind Two miles of streetlamp to clear my mind Nobody waiting, nothing to prove the town stands still and I finally move
