By the time I leave, I wear a coat of smoke
And I walk back all alone
While the neighborhood sleeps I can hear my feet
Slowly carry me to my home
The signals flash back from green to red
As I pass through the pools of light
Dwarfed by the Brooklyn Union gas tanks
Sittin' in the silence of a Tuesday night
But when I finally get back to my room
Where nobody goes
It's just good to feel the night wind blow
And I'm starin' at the edge of the moon
WIth a distant hope
That I might be leavin' soon
Na na na
I kick rocks to amuse myself
And beatbox just to pass the time
Cuz this long road home is hot and slow
And nobody's at the end of the line
I woke up seventeen hours ago
No further from where I am
And a woeful day of work and a night on the town
Hasn't helped me to understand
But when I finally get back to my room
And take off my clothes
It's just good to feel the night wind blow
And I'm standin' on the edge of the moon
WIth a distant hope
That I might be leavin' soon
Na na na
I'm just waitin' to get out of here
And I've waited for a reason to stay
And it's that much further that I have to return
The further I go to get away
But when I finally get back to my room
And take off my clothes
It's just good to feel the night wind blow
And I'm standin' on the edge of the moon
WIth a distant hope
That I might be leavin' soon
Na na na
