When the Night Comes
Lyricist:F. Brown, T. Robinson
The offices are emptying Their pale-faced wards into the street Flickering their strip-light eyes Shivering they readjust their lives From the air-conditioned heat
The humdrum and mundane Is nearly driving them insane You get hooked so quick to anything Even your chains, you're crouching in your corner 'Til they open up your cage
When the night comes It'll help you disappear When the night comes Forget about the day that brought you here
Frankie takes the train and makes it home In time to catch the evening news Opening a can of beans he learns the world Has turned without much help from him
Hey Frank, why not get drunk tonight? Hey Frank, hey, I think it'll be alright You'll be too far gone to notice When the neighbors start complaining They're used to it by now, every day's the same
When the night comes It'll help you disappear When the night comes Forget about the day that brought you here
When the night comes He might get on the phone And she's a stuck-up bitch But she lives on her own
And he heard her talking dirty To the girls the other day And she knew that he had heard her Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And she looked as if to say
And then later up in marketing While going through the files She bent a little too far down Then turned around and smiled
He got her number He got the phone He dialed the number He heard the tone
He said, 'Tonight's the night That I've been waiting for Oh, I know you've seen me Worship you from afarâ€
‽And I might tell you that I love you And I will but just for Tonight, one night's alright Tonight, just one night, just one night Just one nightâ€
In his three piece cunning camouflage Nobody can guess what Frankie's thinking Last night she said, 'I don't know if I'm drowning Maybe it's because I'm sinking'
He said, 'It'll be okay, I'll get outta here one day' And she said, 'Frankie You're no different from any of the rest They've nailed you to that table And chained you to your desk'
When the night comes It'll help you disappear When the night comes Forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it Forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it Forget it, forget it, forget it Forget about the day that brought you here
