[Verse 1]
Dancing, alone
To a record you gave me on loan
The moonlight, overthrown
A dream I thought I had has gone
[Pre-Chorus]
Ah, tell me, tell me, tell me when you're coming back
I made a mental note but then I lost track
Everybody thinks they know what's right for her
You're climbing the walls forever, yeah
[Chorus]
Oh, go down to Club 85 on a Saturday night
Stand underneath the burning disco lights
Put myself in it, take myself out
Wait on the corner till the lights go out
Lonely nights, in a dream
My heart it bleeds
Onto the concrete
My heart it bleeds
Onto the concrete
[Verse 2]
Minding my own
Business, that's what I was told
But the city's growing cold
The dark sky's sinking low
[Pre-Chorus]
The shops all boarded up, you can't afford the lease
The river's brown and dirty but it's all I see
I can't spend another second on my own
But it's all I seem to do, man, I need to get out
[Chorus]
Oh, go down to Club 85 on a Saturday night
Stand underneath the burning disco lights
Put myself in it, stuck in the crowd
Wait on the corner till the lights go out
Lonely nights, in a dream
My heart it bleeds
Onto the concrete
My heart it bleeds
Onto the concrete
[Instrumental Break: Electric Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Lonely town, lonely town
[Chorus]
Go down to Club 85 on a Saturday night
Lose yourself under the burning disco lights
Try to enjoy it, stuck in the crowd
Walk around the streets until the lights go out
Lonely nights, in a dream
My heart it bleeds
Onto the concrete
My heart it bleeds
Onto the concrete

This is the title track of the new album and one of the main foundations I built the rest of the record off.
It’s a dark, atmospheric song dealing with isolation and outsiderness. I had so much fun layering the textures and building it up to the guitar solo and final chorus. It’s one of my favorite...
