Lyrics The Walkabouts

The Walkabouts

Tremble (Goes the Night)

Gettin' stupid ... crooked feet

A pinball on ... Scott Walker Street

Gettin' stupid ... in a bar

Not goin' home ... til the band plays "Superstar"

Everything's on the edge of everything else

You're hittin' a stride, that cannot be stopped

People been callin' all the way from Florida

Ya said, you're going down there, for a week or more

Tremble goes ... Tremble goes the night

Tremble goes ... Tremble goes the night

Gettin stupid ... dancin' veins

Night rain on ... the Greyhound sign

Gettin' stupid ... flashlight face

Strangers got ... the clearest eyes

Nothin's worth envy, but I can't help myself

Go find your glory, ya don't need my help

When it explodes, ya better line up to bet

The dead don't have birthdays, they just forget

Tremble goes ... Tremble goes the night

Tremble goes ... Tremble goes the night

Shadows sparkle ... streetcars burn

All of God's drunks ... we wait our turn

So you're leavin' ... write it on a cake

I'll take a piece ... and I'll join the wait

When you get back, we'll find a heart and soul chapel

See if there's anything, left to unravel

Now go drop this five, in the band's tip jar

I'm not goin' home ... til the band plays "Superstar" ("Superstar")

Tremble goes ... Tremble goes the night

Tremble goes ... Tremble goes the night
