World After Dark
World after dark
10 shots a quarter if you wanna try you luck, take your mark
See all around you
It's yours for the taking, I might just leave you where I found you
And behind the first door is man shadow boxing with the light
With every swing he gives up a little more of his might
Hooking and driving for the trophy that's just out of reach
Spends his days doing those who can't teach
And I'm moving on
World after dark
10 shots a quarter if you wanna try your luck, take your mark
Lights faking shadows
If you can find a place to hide someone will come along that matters
And behind the second door is man, rubber bands around his thumbs
Calling in all lookers, anyone who wants to come
Drinks his tea with a wink, then makes it disappear
Spends his days thinking, what am I doing here
And I'm moving on
World after dark
10 shots a quarter if you wanna try you luck, take your mark
Lights full of wonder
Grip your wallet, mind your watch. They'll pull you under
And behind the third door is man, watching every move you make
Filling each of his pockets with every penny he can take
Bringing in the masses and the everyman with every promise that he can
Holding the will of each survivor in the palm of his hand
But I'm moving on
10 shots a quarter if you wanna try you luck, take your mark
See all around you
It's yours for the taking, I might just leave you where I found you
And behind the first door is man shadow boxing with the light
With every swing he gives up a little more of his might
Hooking and driving for the trophy that's just out of reach
Spends his days doing those who can't teach
And I'm moving on
World after dark
10 shots a quarter if you wanna try your luck, take your mark
Lights faking shadows
If you can find a place to hide someone will come along that matters
And behind the second door is man, rubber bands around his thumbs
Calling in all lookers, anyone who wants to come
Drinks his tea with a wink, then makes it disappear
Spends his days thinking, what am I doing here
And I'm moving on
World after dark
10 shots a quarter if you wanna try you luck, take your mark
Lights full of wonder
Grip your wallet, mind your watch. They'll pull you under
And behind the third door is man, watching every move you make
Filling each of his pockets with every penny he can take
Bringing in the masses and the everyman with every promise that he can
Holding the will of each survivor in the palm of his hand
But I'm moving on
