《City Drops into the Night》歌词

[00:00:00] 作词 : Carroll, Linsley, Linsley

[00:00:16] It's when billy's whores are re to seeorkin'

[00:00:19] They're workin' with the skeleton crew

[00:00:24] It's when the sky over jersey

[00:00:27] That sky starts to drain from view

[00:00:31] It's when my woman pawns her voice so

[00:00:34] So she can make her old excuses sound new

[00:00:39] But i just want one clue

[00:00:42] Refrain:

[00:00:45] 'cause when the city drops into the night

[00:00:49] Before the darkness there's one moment of light

[00:00:53] When everything seems clear

[00:00:56] The other side it seems so near

[00:01:01] What seemed wrong

[00:01:04] I think it's gonna be just about right

[00:01:09] Before the city drops the city drops

[00:01:14] Into the night

[00:01:23] It's when the door to the river

[00:01:27] That door is like 26 miles

[00:01:28] It's when ambitious little girls start

[00:01:34] They start to dream about a change in style

[00:01:38] It's when the slick boys got their fingers

[00:01:41] They got their fingers in the telephone dial

[00:01:47] But i think i'll just wait a while

[00:01:54] Repeat refrain

[00:02:00] It's when the sneak thieves are checkin'

[00:02:09] They're checkin the alleys for unlocked doors

[00:02:50] And billy's sister's gettin' frantic 'cause

[00:02:56] 'cause billy's sister's little brother can't score

[00:03:01] It's when the woman from the dream is

[00:03:04] Oh my god that's the woman on the floor

[00:03:08] Each promise was just one promise more

[00:03:17] Repeat refrain

[00:03:23] It's when teddy's ghost is on the roof

[00:03:34] Beatin' his drum

[00:03:58] And teddy's best friend is two blocks east

[00:04:03] And he's makin' teddy's ex-girlfriend come

[00:04:06] You know they mistook teddy's blind trust

[00:04:11] Just to prove that teddy was dumb

[00:04:15] But listen you know i think they are both just scum

[00:04:30] Repeat refrain

[00:04:39] It's when the body at the bottom

[00:05:27] That body is my own reflection

[00:05:31] But it ain't hip to sink that low

[00:05:34] Unless you're gonna make a resurrection

[00:05:38] They're always gonna come to your door

[00:05:41] They're gonna say it's just a routine inspection

[00:05:45] But what you get when you open your door

[00:05:49] What you get is just another injection

[00:05:53] And there's always gonna be one more

[00:05:55] With just a little bit less until the next one

[00:06:00] They wait in shadows and steal the light from your eyes

[00:06:03] To them vision's just some costly infection

[00:06:08] But listen you should come with me

[00:06:10] I'm the fire i'm the fire's reflection

[00:06:16] I'm just a constant warning to take the other direction

[00:06:23] Mister i am your connection

[00:06:38] Repeat refrain
