lyrics

sit awake and I stare at a streetlight
as it illuminates the world outside
in the suburbs of Bergen in the springtime
feeling jet lagged and not knowing why

I decide what to do with my life
play music and have a good time
in the kitchen in the absence of the daylight
the year is nineteen ninety-five

and that streetlight
feeling is alive
on a late night
playing in a dive
bar

all the people there
care about is green beer

we all need this in our lives
ever since the dawn of time
and if it ever feels discouraging
it's just bad marketing

at the time the scene was looking alright
before the formats changed
budgets were high

any kid with a TV and a cool vibe
could get the feeling that
this was a good life

but when boy bands happened we all realized
that it was just another scam of the times

and that streetlight
feeling is alive
on a late night
playing in a dive
bar

all the people there
care about is green beer

we all need this in our lives
ever since the dawn of time
and if it ever feels discouraging

you shouldn't be so frivolous
dude you can't be serious
some say it all comes down to luck in the end

but that streetlight
feeling is alive
on a late night
playing in a dive
bar

all the people there
care about is green beer

we all need this in our lives
ever since the dawn of time
and if it ever feels discouraging

it's just bad marketing
