For a Dreamer, Night's the Only Time of Day - Forgive Durden

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 a 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

Extra!

Extra!

Read all about it!

Scandal, slander

Catch all the gossip

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

Let’s leave tonight at dusk

When the lights shine bright

Miles of cracked, crooked paths

Lit by buzzing filament

And neon glass

If morning never brings salvation

Leave me and save yourself

I’ll always love you
