Nite at Nite

Can you sleep through sounds of thunder?
Can you hear the silence of summer?
A moondog by your side
That leads you through the nite

And maybe it's time that you wrote back
And spent some time with you old cats — so that
Time will tell you whose to blame for your trials

You're awake one day and you wonder
Did you dream it all or discover
You used two sticks to brush her hair
Three weeks ain't long but I don't care

Give in to the pressure your under
Your eyes behind a cucumber, wonder
If hoodoo tricks won't make me change my mind

I want to say goodnight to you
I want to say goodnight
I want to say goodnight to you
Goodnight

I hope it's not beside the truth
I saw you standing on the roof
I want to say goodnight, goodnight

Now the years have come and you're all alone
She left one day and now she's gone
November leaves are always there
The radio played Pierrot Lunaire
And maybe admit that you listened
Or eyed the dial for an instant — Pete Wentz
Sings the blues for the neighborhood so don't lie

Well it's hard guitar for the spaceman
Who lost his life, we can't save him
And lines are long till you give him a ticket to ride
Someday soon you will miss him
He took you home and you gave him
All your love even though it was a cruel thing to do

And though sometimes it's hard when you look back
The fire is gone but I think that — it left
All the scars, your a victim of something new

I want to say goodnight to you
I want to say goodnight
I want to say goodnight to you
Goodnight

I want to stay and cry for you
I want sympathize with you
I want to say goodnight
Goodnight

On the farm till the sun sets
Well life is hard, well I know that — in fact
These two steps could be the last that I won
