I left the world last night, again Tucked away, safe and sound, along the wind I think her name was Mary, and we sang from her list of songs That we'd all shine on I miss the world that I once lived No peace of mind, just pieces I'm prepared to give I wish I played the banjo, or something for us to sing along Then we'd all shine on I think you're something special I've heard it from the stars And I've been dancing around them lately And they know who you are Outlast the world tonight, my friend Memorize the hypnotizing lights within I think I came for something, and Lord knows when my troubles calm That we'll all shine on I think you're something special I've heard it from the stars And I've been dancing around them lately And they know who you are For those of you who whisper Chase the lights and load one-hitters We'll shine on For those of you who whisper Chase the lights and load one-hitters We'll shine on I think you're something special I've heard it from the stars And I've been dancing around them lately And they know who you are I left the world last night again No peace of mind, just pieces I'm prepared to give I think I came for something, and Lord knows when my troubles calm That we'll all shine on
