For a Dreamer, Night's the Only Time of Day

Busy streets
And the even busier
Patrons and vehicles
Argue my elusive steps
Through the blur of urgency
Here I'm always on my toes
Until an abrupt blonde door
Stowing a porcelain blonde girl
Knock me right onto my back

And for a moment we're alone
And we both know that we're trapped

If morning never brings
Salvation for either one of us
Leave me and save yourself
I'll only slow you down

Breathe in slowly
Are you listening?
On this muted block
Everything is paused
Your glow, blinding
Breaches my pupils
I taste your skin
I see our kids

I manage to
Siphon some breath from out my gut
Tell you to take my hand and run

If morning never brings
Salvation for either one of us
(I'll bring you home)
Leave me and save yourself
I'll only slow you down

Extra! Extra!
Read all about it!
Scandal, slander
Catch all the gossip
Extra! Extra!
Read all about it!
Scandal, slander
Catch all the gossip
Extra! Extra!
Read all about it!
Scandal, slander
Catch all the gossip
Extra! Extra!
Read all about it!
Scandal, slander
Slow it down

I'll be waiting for you
To come home
I'll be waiting for you

Extra! Extra!
Read all about it!
A corporate's head been murdered!
His secretary found him
Scandal! Slander!
Catch all the gossip!
From what I hear
The chief executive deserved it
Extra! Extra!
Read all about it!
A corporate's head been murdered!
His secretary found him
Scandal! Slander!
Catch all the gossip!
From what I hear
The chief executive deserved it

Let's leave tonight at dusk
When the lights shine bright
Miles of cracked, crooked paths
Lit by buzzing filament and neon glass
If morning never brings salvation
Leave me and save yourself
I'll always love you
