Chris Singleton Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're running out of patience, running out of time
There's nothing like a dirty dream to occupy your mind
Don't you worry, we've got people who will keep you in line

All I want is somebody to say it's gonna be alright,
It's gonna be okay

Friday night in the city
All the money men talk on their phones
I never seen you so pretty
I never seen you so cold
Don't you worry, we've got people who will take you home

All I want is somebody to say it's gonna be alright,
It's gonna be okay




All I want is somebody to say it's gonna be alright,
It's gonna be okay
