May 1, 1990 Lyrics & Chords By 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 didn't 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 saw the stars align
and I knew that it was meant to be

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

On May 1, 1990
something changed inside me
and I saw the stars align
and I knew that it was meant to be

In a city by the sun
