City Drops Into The Night lyrics

It`s when billy`s whores are re to seeorkin`
They`re workin` with the skeleton crew
It`s when the sky over jersey
That sky starts to drain from view
It`s when my woman pawns her voice so

But i just want one clue

Refrain:
`cause when the city drops into the night
Before the darkness there`s one moment of light
When everything seems clear

Before the city drops, the city drops

That door is like 26 miles
It`s when ambitious little girls start
They start to dream about a change in style
It`s when the slick boys got their fingers
They got their fingers in the telephone dial

But i think i`ll just wait a while

It`s when the sneak thieves are checkin`
They`re checkin the alleys for unlocked doors
And billy`s sister`s gettin` frantic `cause
`cause billy`s sister`s little brother can`t score

Oh my god! that`s the woman on the floor




Each promise was just one promise more

Repeat refrain

It`s when teddy`s ghost is on the roof
Beatin` his drum
And teddy`s best friend is two blocks east
And he`s makin` teddy`s ex-girlfriend come
You know, they mistook teddy`s blind trust . . .
Just to prove that teddy was dumb . . .
But listen, you know, i think they are both just scum

Repeat refrain

It`s when the body at the bottom,
That body is my
