Fun. - Barlights Lyrics
Never in all of my life
Have I seen eyes as empty as these streets of my city
on a Saturday night,
all the green of your eyes says "Go, leave it all behind."
I can feel it on the tip of your tongue.
And I feel alive.
We met up once we'd settled the sun
Between the heat and the work week
the fear is we could use some sleep
but sleep to the superfluous man means better use for beds
and I'll bet I'm coming home alone tonight.
I moved on, I passed a billboard down my block
that asks if I've had enough, and aloud I say "I've had too much,"
when the truth is, I'm just getting started.
Now all the barlights are blinking in time
to Mexican music, it's taunting the pavement
and I feel alive.
One of us sings, and one of us drinks,
and one of us has nothing at all.
So he calls us all sheep
I'm the Little Bo Peep of the bunch.
(I take their tales and I'm ready to go)
The he swears he's gotta take this call
Man, I get scared he's gonna leave us too soon.
We were the get rich quick kids,
We never got it right
So we settled for the center of town
Where all the rich white kids is out looking for a fight
got the blond one staring me down.
And I really wanna take a swing
I can't help but remember James Dean
See we are part of the few who agree
that hey, he lived life fast
but he died.
He died.
He died.
Me, I'm gonna live forever.
Now all the barlights are blinking in time
to Mexican music, it's taunting the pavement
and for the first time
in a long time
I feel alive

Fun. Barlights Comments
Best song on the album. A symphonic achievement of wondrous proportion.
Underrated song
Hello 2019, still alive and feel alive. :)
I just realized the youtube address of this video almost spells "boob"
Every single one of their songs deserve as much recognition as Some Nights..
Can't believe this song has less than a million veiws. Talk about underated
The time is approaching
@Rawov Un Lupin haha yes
One of their best songs. One of the best songs.
¡Cómo amo esta madreeee!!!<3 <3<3xd
Anyone got a strumming pattern EXACTLY like this one?
The first few second remind me of the beginning of Dazed and Confused by Led Zeppelin
Rrrrroger!
he sounds like tyler
if you ever come by here.... hi Nate!!!
Come on Nate, say hi!
waiting for fun. to come back like... 😞 I MISS THEM SO MUCH ❤
Just like stars?
Still waiting
carolina ribeiro patiently waiting
I wish the tempo could be slower.
nhạc fun. hay qua
I wish they were still making music. :(
nate's still making music. he has an album called great romantic
isn't it grand romantic? or is that a new one?
@Sam Evans its not as good as fun. was
@Victoria G It has 4 good songs
this is so in style of queen
Wowie. I listen to Aim & Ignite more than Some Nights.
Captain Bako sameee
Not my fave...
not a true fan just facts
+AJay Alicea Well, I LOVE fun. But this isn't my fave song of theirs.
+Rory Cohen yeah they are great i love them too
freddie mercury = nate ruess
+Pamela Cagas everybody eles< nate ruess
my D > everybody elses
♥ this and benson and hedges and EVERYTHING...... ♥
They fired shots at James Dean though
I'm coming home. Soon. I'm just not sure when I can.
Their first album is better than their second one.
Nah I like this album a lot but I think the second is a classic
+mejl2015 the second is so auto tuned it makes me want to throw up
+carson moree There's only a couple of songs that use autotune, and the ones that do use it as an instrument rather than a voice. Listen to Some Nights and Stars again but imagine it as Nate using his voice as an electric guitar. That's what they were going for
their best song
ikr LOL
It's not fair how easy his higher range sounds.
@Dan Satter hes a tenor lol... maybe you should ask him to sing an E2.
I love this haha
His voice is so perfect and masculine... I am not gay but I can enjoy a good voice.
It isn't very masculine.
no homo ,,
Yea, it isn't very masculine. In fact, it could be considered pretty feminine because he could successfully sing VERY high notes. But his voice is angelic, no doubt about that.
maybe a little gay idk
Its been five years, are you gay yet? (Im just joking of course, please don’t be offended)
Love this song
if anyone can include the word 'superfluous' in a song they are obviously a genius
ilikeowlhats It's not the only time they do that, too
ilikeowlhats, it's far from Nate's best lyrical achievement (that would be The Gambler), but okay!
My favourite Fun song.
Mine too! I wouldn't have replied to an 11-month-old comment otherwise, but I also wanted to add that I love your profile pic! Jacob's Ladder is amazing.
@VirunVIICrest Indeed, it's my favourite movie! You obviously have good taste, stranger.
2 years old now
yeah, its been my fav fun. song since 2015. your comment is 4 years old now
@Faizetto 5 now crazy
Nate's voice isn't perfect but I think that's what I love about it.
What do you mean? It's peeeerfect
...but it is perfect
CubeJello what in tarnation is your definition of perfect voice Nate's one of the best male vocals in this music era
I love this song
Oh dear lord help me survive after listening to this amazing voice.. idk if i can handle it
My favorite song by far:)
and you are another generic hate comment
Nate Ruess better fucking live forever
Bet song ever.
Best Fun. song by far. I llike both albums, but Aim and Ignite is so much better than Some Nights.
not really. theyre just another generic pop rock band
*angrily straightens bow tie*
Listen here you little shit
TadpoleGaming Lmao this person clearly doesn't know shit about music.
This is my favorite song
It would be an honor to be compared to Queen or The Beatles... or are you implying that Fun. is nothing like them as a dis...
Having Fun With Fun.
Frag em all honestly every needs an enemy and might as well be the newcomer.
I feel alive :D
FUUUUUUUN3
new downloud to cp..
Aim and ignite is my favorite album ever! Fun. is soooo AMAZING! :3
You're beautiful omg those are like three of my top fav 5 alongside Kansas, and Rush. You rock! They are all unique, but Queen DEFINITELY drew influence from The Beatles, and Fun. DEFINITELY drew influence from both of them BIG TIME. Queen and Fun. still have their own nuances, which is more than enough to call them unique
lol I love them too.
It's ironic that The Beatles, Queen, and fun. are my three favorite bands. Ever.
I'm dying inside. Thank you Fun.
love fun love fun love fun love fun love fun love fun love fun love fun love fun love fun love fun love fun love fun love fun.....
just dropped by to see how many hipsters had commented.
Every generation needs their favourites. Stop comparing and insulting. Only compare for the good. Stick your negative comments up your arse. Fun are a talent. My boy loves 'em and so do I.
if anybody asks me who is my favorite singer i would say "Nate Ruess"
i dont know but theres something about his singing that i like
This is a great song to listen to when you're finishing The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. I though I'd share that.
Sound like dont stop me now by queen
Not at all lmao
I lover his voice.... Ohhh
Saw them live 2 days ago and they played this and it's even more amazing live okay. Fucking love fun.
I love Fun. So much.. I love Nate Ruess' voice.. IDK how to describe why I like them so much.. I guess cause they aren't like the music now. Their music has feeling.. and so much more than the junk they have today. The only way I can describe Fun. is they sound like an old band.. Idk. And I feel like I never heard Nate's voice the way it sounds before.. I just love hearing Fun. These songs are the songs you can listen to over and over again and not get tired of it.. Or that's how I am.
It's like Queen, yeah, but it's also a little bit more. Not necessarily better but it's different and brings more to the musical table than just Queen-like music
I LOVE all three AND YOU COULDNT BE MORE RIGHT!!!!
Reminds me of queen :o liked
Just knowing those two songs, as most people do, is very different to getting to know them because of those songs. I'd never heard of them before Some Nights, but got both albums for christmas and now consider them my favourite band.
I agree with the first post, their hit songs don't nearly show what they can do or how brilliant they are.
Lets hope u do live forever nate
Listened to about 14 Fun. songs and liked them all after less than 30 seconds!...
I think that Fun. is an amazing and talented band!
This style totally reminds me of Queen. What a good song that no one really seems to know about.
Exactly
You mean it's Fun. to listen to...
Not only is their music some of the best out there, but it's fun to listen to. I think the reason they're so good is because of how much they draw from the best of the 80's, which in my opinion, is the best music decade.
I hate to say it, but they would SO much better on their first album.
Out of all the great songs they played when I saw them in concert, this one really stuck out to me.
Totally love FUN - some really amazing songs/lyrics. Am 62, but can identify and love their music. Will keep listening to hear more from them.
now i feel sorry cause i didnt listen them before! He is amazing!
-_- What I MEANT is that I hate that people only know their two songs, We Are Young and Some Nights when they have many more wonderful songs and another whole album that people don't know about. I couldn't give a flying fuck of how anyone discovers them.
Totally agree with you, except I got onto them from the Duet Nate did P!nk on her last album and search who it was. Now I love them and will see them live in March. So can't wait.
i think he means it's sad people only know two songs.
FUN. FOR GRAMMY!
Well, guys, i am one of those people who got to know Fun from "Some nights" or "We are young" but i think it's not a bad thing. I hate when people start insulting other people like me. I mean, i think i'm lucky i know Fun and i can appreciate them, who the hell cares about how i got to know them? The point is that Fun are awesome, there's nothing more important than this :D
(sorry for my english, i could have made some mistakes D:)
Oh yes,this band sounds like Queen :)
*ITALY*
that magnificent the chorus!
Stop comparing Fun. with Queen or The Beatles...Fun. is unique as the other bands.
Agreed. They are way more ok so dont judge them before u have heard all of their BRILLIANT songs!
People say Fun is retarted ad that might be true but first u have to count every single other band or artist and then u got it. SAVED THE BEST FOR LAST
It makes me so sad that people only know Fun. by 2 songs. They are SO much more than those 2!
you ppl he has his own voice nothing like the beatles or queen!!
Aww man! I was gonna coment on The Queen had a baby one and say that the mother was the beatles! Then I saw ths comment! D:
This song makes me feel so good! :)
Never heard this song, but i know it must be AWESOME like all the others!!!
I discover fun when i was watching Jimmy Kimmel.....Now I am a FUN fan OF FUN!!!!!!!!!
Fun has changed record label once, I don't know who is that dumb ass to stop their contract.
Why. Are. They. PERF.
omg why is it so impossible for them to make a song that isnt absolutely AMAZING, it baffles me
HEY DAD!
Now that i have your attention, i'd like to mention that you are not my dad but have my respect because you sound like my dad, even though i never met him
There's more than one...DFTBA
