>>>
>>> Flag me.
>>>
>>> She seems to speak to me in some alien language, I'm sitting on the
>>> corner, I'm feeling strangled. But I can't respond to some imaginary
>>> kiss. She's taking advantage of this mysteriousness. So I'm walking to
>>> the edge of town tonight. The moon looks like a skull in the sky
>>> tonight. I'm walking to the edge of town tonight. I know the
>>> Underground's got something going on tonight.
>>>
>>> It was there at the coffee shop, I still had my old job as the bell hop.
>>> She told her story, I wasn't listening. She smiled in the air, I'm
>>> afraid to tell her I care, she was bringing me down and her eyes were
>>> glistening... I'm walking to the edge of town tonight. I see a blue moon
>>> over the water, electric glide. I'm walking to the edge of town tonight.
>>> I don't know what I'll do when I get there but it'll be on tonight.
>>> Right on.
>>>
>>> She dances in many colors, almost put me in her spell. Just like easy
>>> money, she seems to spin so well. But I can't respond because she's
>>> already gone. She's opened the door and it won't long. I'm walking to
>>> the edge of town tonight. I see a neon light flashing just out of sight.
>>> I'm walking to the edge of town tonight. I don't know how I'll get there
>>> but when I do it'll be all right, right on. Can't you hear me making
>>> sounds?
