I saw you up there* Like a city in the footlights Shining in the darkness I couldn't see your eyes They all thought they knew you But nobody knew you And I wanted no one To know me too I saw you out there In the starlight and static Singing like the spark On a mile of coiled wire But you looked so lonely Like no one was ever lonely And I wanted to be Lonely too I remember once you told me You had a dream A crowded street You saw the ghost of James Dean But no one could see him No one could see him And he cried in his love I saw you standing Up against a building Smoking like a river In the dark before the dawn And I asked you for nothing And you became nothing You were just a ghost And then the ghost was gone
