Lyrics and translation
Original
You've got a fifty in your pocket and you know just where you're going tonight.
Let the smoke fill your eyes 'til you don't see the lights.
Yeah, I know that she left and I know that it messed you up.
When you lost your love,
I guess you lost too much.
I can't tell you what to do, but know my heart will break for you.
If you're gone in the morning, when the stars all refuse to shine,
I hope the start of the dawn brings a different kind of light.
I,
I hope that you'll be alright.
Ho-ho-ho-ho.
Ho-ho-ho-ho.
Ho-ho-ho-ho.
And I don't wanna leave you when the creatures of the night come out.
Yeah, I can hear them now, such an awful sound.
They're pulling and they're dragging and they're creeping underneath your skin.
Please don't let them win, such a pointless sin.
So if you're gone in the morning, when the stars all refuse to shine,
I hope the start of the dawn brings a different kind of light.
I, yeah, I hope that you'll be alright.
Ho-ho-ho-ho.
Ho-ho-ho-ho.
Ho-ho-ho-ho.
And I might be your witness but I won't be your alibi.
Ah.
You know that your wings are gonna burn if you fly too high into the night.
So if you're gone in the morning, when the stars all refuse to shine, someday I hope that you hear me somewhere in the back of your mind.
I, yeah, I hope that you'll be alright.
Ho-ho-ho-ho.
Ho-ho-ho-ho. Ho-ho-ho-ho.
Ho-ho-ho-ho.
Ho-ho-ho-ho.
Ho-ho-ho-ho.
Ho-ho-ho-ho
