Night Flyer
Hardworking man, over-trained, underpaid
This ain't the living I see in my dreams
The ex now piled the mortgage up to here
Listen to the man who whispered in his ear
(Why don't you step outside?)
Couldn't believe what he said
(Leave your world behind)
Well, I could use the bread
(Just a little joyride)
It'll only take one night
(Across the other side)
I guess just once is all right
(Night flyer)
(Night flyer)
Night flyer
On a midnight flight
Working with Hills was a piece of cake
But trusting the man was a big mistake
He tried to play me for the fool
Now the guns have spoken and his body's cool
(Another step outside)
I couldn't believe he was dead
(Leave the world behind)
I didn't use my head
(Just a little joyride)
It'll only take one night
(Across the other side)
I guess just once is alright
(Night flyer)
(Night flyer)
(Night flyer)
On a midnight flight
(Night flyer)
(Night flyer)
(Night flyer)
This time tomorrow, I'll be safe in L.A
Jenny and the kids already got in okay
I know she'd never understand
About getting away with five-hundred grand
(And he stepped outside)
Get rid of the car
(Leave your world behind)
And then he opened the door
(If they let him go)
I turned the key
(Don't let him go)
My life's flashing by me
Night flyer
Step outside
Leave your world behind
Step outside
Leave your world behind
Step outside
Leave your world behind
Step outside
Leave your world behind
Step outside
Leave your world behind
This ain't the living I see in my dreams

Listen to the man who whispered in his ear
