This is about what a streetlight sees at night.
Lyrics:
Shiny red car speeding across the town without a care at all
Weeping women covers her face to hide her tears of sorrow
Listing old man wrestles a walker and weaves his way in the crowd.
Loving couple cuddles not even aware anyone else is around
Young girl on a bike riding too fast takes charge of the space she requires
Clearly drunk stranger talks loud and brash to no one person at all
Smelly garbage truck rolls pounding the road on its daily route
Whining police car heads in haste to another and another case
Chorus
Don't know where they're going or where they've been
Only see a flash and then they're gone again.
Where my light shines i can only see them track
Its dark in the front and dark in the back
Where my light shines from dusk to dawn
Where my light shines
Blaring fire truck honks, wails and flashes and plows through traffic in haste
Care free young musician plays harmonica filling the air with delight
Boys look for girls and girls look for boys and wait for one to move first
Sign posted says the cat is lost and answers to the name of Hopper
Barely awake dog walkers are out and the dog lifts his leg just below.
Streaking shadows of flying black bats menace those who notice at all
Hapless bugs are attracted to gather and dance with no impact or cause
Secret cameras scan a wide field of vision seeing what no-one will watch
