lyrics

He caught up with his dreams, they were a sad kind of paradise
He had a vague look in his eyes, he was roaming the streets in the violet dark of the city nights
He was crossing crosses on a red light streak, he was fleeing his painful memories
In the sweet night under street lights all he did was die

Let's raise a toast, let's raise our hands, let's have a drink with our best friends
and make this night the better of the worst
and as we search for love, let's try to love the search,
this is one way flight, let's try to make it work
Embrace the happy moments of our lives

In his search for salvation, in his search for success
he got lost in all the lights, he was crushed and depressed
He reflected on his life and the sadness of the modern man
His nerves were shot and his eyes were dry when the devil found him for the second time
In the sad night under bar lights he finally heard band

Let's raise a toast, let's raise our hands, let's have a drink with our best friends
and make this night the better of the worst
and as we search for love, let's try to love the search,
this is one way flight, let's try to make it work
Embrace the happy moments of our lives
