The man at the back says The man at the front Is really the last in the line But it all hangs on which way you're facing And how you've been reading the signs The man at the front tells The man at the back There's more than one queue to join But you make a mistake if you think you can Make up your mind at the toss of a coin Oh you're all bathed in neon And you cling to the light Your faces look strange in the glow Are you waiting for some flashing arrow To show you which way to go? Oh you all fear the shadow Want out of the night And you don't care what price is paid But what will you do when the show is all through And the lights have all started to fade? Oh you're all bathed in neon And you cling to the light Your faces seem lost in the glow Are you waiting for some flashing arrow To show you which way to go? Don't let it die, don't let the flame die Don't let it die, don't let the flame die Don't let it die, don't let the flame die Don't let it die, don't let it die Oh you're all bathed in neon You're hungry for light Your faces seem lost in the glow But there's only one light gonna keep off the night And show you which way to go
