Lisa Miskovsky - 20th Of December Madison Avenue lyrics

You walk me through the park where all the dark spots lit by snow

You talk me through my part as if you're starring the show

I hate you ‘cause of the way these Gotham snowflakes lick your hair

I hate you ‘cause I need you, ‘cause I know that you don't care

You remind me I'm no longer young

It's the 20th of December, Santa's looking kind of worn

The windows shine like embers and every year there's more

I don't think I look much older, but I'm not the one to ask

Nostalgia's getting bolder with every day that pass

It reminds me I'm no longer young

Back then the streets were paved with light

As if this town was built by night

And our steps like hyperspace flight

In a universe that was ours by right

You look at me through lenses of ideas that were never mine

You're shooting cross the trenches, in the world war of your mind

You've gone and hit old Sancho between the halo and the eyes

Bet he didn't see it coming, just the tunnel and the light

So go away and pray baby, come back when you can cry

It's Christmas time remember, the least you should do is try

The 90's like the weak link in the chain around my heart

And the peace I've built within it, is like an island off the charts

You step in like a tow truck, and tear my world apart

Yawning like a housecat playing cruelly with a mouse

You're shouting cross the trenches, to steal my peace of mind

It was you who killed the angels, you the greatest lover of all time

You're just a petty thief now in the universe of small crime

You remind me I'm no longer young

Back then the streets were paved with light

As if this town was built by night

And our steps like hyperspace flight

In a universe that was ours by right
