Adrian Belew

I lived inside a tear
Time magnified my fear that the world around me was only getting more severe
On May 1, 1990 something changed inside me
And I saw the stars align
And I knew that it was meant to be
I didnt know at the time my heart was on the line
But the world was turning and suddenly the sun was shining
On May 1, 1990 something changed inside me
And I, I saw the stars align
And I knew that it was meant to be
In a city by the sun
A city by the sun
In a city by the sun
Maybe when you saw me then, you thought I had the world at my feet
Maybe when you looked again, you saw how I was empty
In a city by the sun
In a city by the sun
On May 1, 1990 something changed inside me
And I, I saw the stars align
And I knew that it was meant to be
In a city by the sun
[ May 1, 1990 Lyrics ]
