For A Dreamer, Night’s The Only Time Of Day

The busy streets and the even
Busier patrons and vehicles
Argue my elusive steps through the
Blur of urgency

Here, I'm always on my toes until an abrupt blond door
Stowing a porcelain blond girl
Knock me right onto my back
And for a moment we're alone and we both know that we're trapped

If morning never brings
Salvation for either one of us
Leave me and save yourself
I'll only slow you down

Breathe in slowly, are you listening?
On this muted block everything is paused
Your glow, blinding, breaches my pupils
I taste your skin, I see our kids

I manage to siphon
Some breath out from my gut
Tell you to
Take my hand and run

If morning never brings
Salvation for either one of us
Leave me and save yourself
I'll only slow you down (Slow this down...)

(Extra! Extra! Read all about it!)
If morning never brings
(Scandal! Slander! Catch all the gossip)

Salvation for either one of us
(Extra! Extra! Read all about it!)
(Scandal! Slander! Catch all the gossip)

(Extra! Extra! Read all about it!)
Leave me and save yourself
(Scandal! Slander! Catch all the gossip)
I'll only slow you down

(Extra! Extra! Read all about it!)
(Scandal! Slander!)
Slow it down

I'll be...waiting
For you...to come home
I'll be...waiting
For you

Extra! Extra!
Read all about it!
A corporate's head been murdered!
His secretary found him

Scandal! Slander!
Catch all the gossip!
From what I hear
The chief executive deserved it

Extra! Extra!
Read all about it!
A corporate's head been murdered!
His secretary found him

Scandal! Slander!
Catch all the gossip!
From what I hear
The chief executive deserved it

(OH!) Let's leave tonight at dusk
When the lights shine bright
Miles of cracked, crooked paths
Lit by buzzing filament and neon glass

(OH...) If morning never brings
Salvation
(OH...) Leave me and save yourself
I'll always love you
