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 fell 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 cube 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



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...
