Let's spend the night

Black as the ocean our lying old tongues
You can't tell the truth if you've swallowed it down
A white dove on amphetamine is singing we shall overcome

Stolen by time all the faces we've worn
Well, tick tock, the clock makes no reason to mourn
We're all in a battle they say and yet nobody's won

So let's spend the night chasing the morning
Let's set it all on fire until it comes dawning

You win some, you loose some and break even in the end
While giving Is to getting what tonic is to gin
The riddle and the answer are-a blowing in the same wind

Some rise above, some stay down on their knees
And it's all in matter of how that birdsong translates
I guess all we can really say for sure is
that we'll surely be guessing

So let's spend the night chasing the morning
Let's set it all on fire until it comes dawning

We could dive into wine and try to sweeten the taste
Vacuum our souls to get rid of the waste
Nothing is changing round here
The suns sets and it rises

We could break all the rules and go live on the edge
Burn all our money, they wouldn't mean shit
If you know where your heart's at
Then, dammit, that's it!

Let's spend the night chasing the morning
Let's set it all on fire until it comes dawning
And we'd fall back down
Back where we started out
With our empty hands
Awaiting the deal
