<pre><font size='+2'>CITY DROPS INTO THE NIGHT lyrics JIM CARROLL BAND</font><br>It`s when Billy`s whores are workin`<br />
They`re workin` with the skeleton crew<br />
It`s when the sky over Jersey<br />
That sky starts to drain from view<br />
It`s when my woman pawns her voice so<br />
So she can make her old excuses sound new<br />
<br />
But I just want one clue<br />
<br />
Refrain:<br />
`Cause when the city drops into the night<br />
Before the darkness there`s one moment of light<br />
When everything seems clear<br />
The other side, it seems so near<br />
What seemed wrong?<br />
I think it`s gonna be just about right<br />
Before the city drops, the city drops<br />
Into the night<br />
<br />
It`s when the door to the River<br />
That door is like 26 miles<br />
It`s when ambitious little girls start<br />
They start to dream about a change in style<br />
It`s when the slick boys got their fingers<br />
They got their fingers in the telephone dial<br />
<br />
But I think I`ll just wait a while<br />
<br />
Repeat Refrain<br />
<br />
It`s when the sneak thieves are checkin`<br />
They`re checkin the alleys for unlocked doors<br />
And Billy`s sister`s gettin` frantic `cause<br />
`Cause Billy`s sister`s little brother can`t score<br />
It`s when the woman from the dream is . . .<br />
Oh my God! That`s the woman on the floor<br />
<br />
Each promise was just one promise more<br />
<br />
Repeat Refrain<br />
<br />
It`s when Teddy`s ghost is on the roof<br />
Beatin` his drum<br />
And Teddy`s best friend is two blocks East<br />
And he`s makin` Teddy`s ex-girlfriend come<br />
You know, they mistook Teddy`s blind trust . . .<br />
Just to prove that Teddy was dumb . . .<br />
But listen, you know, I think they are both just scum<br />
<br />
Repeat Refrain<br />
<br />
It`s when the body at the bottom,<br />
That body is my own reflection<br />
But it ain`t hip to sink that low<br />
Unless you`re gonna make a resurrection<br />
They`re always gonna come to your door<br />
They`re gonna say, `It`s just a routine inspection`<br />
But what you get when you open your door<br />
What you get is just another injection<br />
And there`s always gonna be one more<br />
With just a little bit less until the next one<br />
They wait in shadows and steal the light from your eyes<br />
To them vision`s just some costly infection<br />
But listen, you should come with me<br />
I`m the fire, I`m the fire`s reflection<br />
I`m just a constant warning to take the other direction<br />
<br />
Mister, I am your connection<br />
<br />
Repeat Refrain<br />
<br />
<br />

It`s when Billy`s whores are workin`
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
So she can make her old excuses sound new

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
The other side, it seems so near
What seemed wrong?
I think it`s gonna be just about right
Before the city drops, the city drops
Into the night

It`s when the door to the River
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

Repeat Refrain

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
It`s when the woman from the dream is . . .
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

It`s when the body at the bottom,
That body is my own reflection
But it ain`t hip to sink that low
Unless you`re gonna make a resurrection
They`re always gonna come to your door
They`re gonna say, `It`s just a routine inspection`
But what you get when you open your door
What you get is just another injection
And there`s always gonna be one more
With just a little bit less until the next one
They wait in shadows and steal the light from your eyes
To them vision`s just some costly infection
But listen, you should come with me
I`m the fire, I`m the fire`s reflection
I`m just a constant warning to take the other direction

Mister, I am your connection
