That Time Of The Night (The Short Straw)
At that time of the night When streetlights throw crosses through window frames
Paranoia roams where the shadows reign Oh, at that time of the night At that time of the night Your senses tangled in some new perfume Criticism triggers of a loaded room
Oh, at that time of the night So if you ask me How do I feel inside I could honestly tell you We've been taken on a very long ride And if my owners let me have some free time some day With all good intention I would probably run away Clutching the short straw At that time of the night
When questions rally in an open mind
Summon all your answers with an ice cubes chime At that time of the night
At that time of the night Pretend you're off the hook with the telephone
Your confidence wounded in a free fire zone
Oh, at that time of the night Songtexte
So if you ask me Where do I go from here
My next destination even isn't really that clear
So if you join me and get on your knees and prey
I'll show you salvation We'll take the alternative way Clutching the short straw If I had enough money I'd buy a round for that boy over there
A companion in my madness in the mirror the one with the silvery hair
And if some kind soul could please pick up my tab And while they're at it if they could pick up my broken heart.
Warm wet circles
