Nightlife

All along the Western Plains the lions lick their teeth

with a look in their eyes.

The one you’re giving me tonight.

And all along the country side the morning doves will

call.

For the sun will soon come and wake them all

with a brand new start.

A world apart from us.

But each time you drop a line it seems you’re lying

through your teeth.

Stop wasting all my time.

I’ve only got an hour to kill, lets not waste it all

with talking.

We’ve only got tonight.

All along the New York strip the people wait and watch

for the change of the light.

These little rest stops from their lives.

All along suburban streets the kids come out to play

and take advantage of the fact that there’s no rain

today.

But how different things become when night’s the only

time of day you’re up.

But each time you drop a line it seems you’re lying

through your teeth.

Stop wasting all my time.

I’ve only got an hour to kill, lets not waste it all

with talking.

We’ve only got tonight.

Just stop.

Stop blaming all your flaws on God and acting bashful

when we both know you’re not.

You act surprised when you look up at the clock. “Oh

it’s so late!”

…Like you forgot…

Just stop.

Stop playing like you care so much when you know

neither of us care to keep in touch.

You’re just like me, life’s got you jaded on love.

Oh, we both don’t care enough.
