Adrian Belew - May 11990

I lived inside a tear


Time magnified my fear


That the world around me


Was only getting more severe





On may 11990


Something changed inside me


And I saw the stars align


And I knew that it was meant to be





I didn’t know at the time


My heart was on the line


But the world was turning


And suddenly the sun was shining





On may 11990


Something changed inside me


And I saw the stars align


And I knew that it was meant to be





In a city by the sun





Maybe when you saw me then


You thought I had the world at my feet


Maybe when you looked again


You saw how I was empty


In a city by the sun





On may 11990


Something changed inside me


And I saw the stars align


And I knew that it was meant to be





In a city by the sun
