Bring On The Night - When The World Is Running Down You Make The Best Of What's Still AroundThe afternoon has gently passed me byThe evening spreads its sail against the sky Waiting for tomorrow, just another day God bid yesterday good-bye Bring on the night I couldn't spend another hour of daylight Bring on the night I couldn't stand another hour of daylight The future is but a question mark Hangs above my head, there in the dark Can't see for the brightness is staring me blind God bid yesterday good-bye Bring on the night I couldn't spend another hour of daylight Bring on the night I couldn't stand another hour of daylight I couldn't spend another hour of daylight Turn on my V.C.R., same one I've had for years James Brown on the Tammy show, Same tape I've had for years I sit in my old car, same one I've had for years Old battery's running down, it ran for years and years Turn on the radio, the static hurts my ears Tell me, where would I go? I ain't been out in years Turn on the stereo, it's played for years and years An Otis Redding song, it's all I own When the world is running down You make the best of what's still around When the world is running down You make the best of what's still around Plug in my M.C.I, to excercise my brain Make records on my own, can't go out in the rain Pick up the telephone, I've listened here for years No one to talk to me, I've listened here for years When the world is running down You make the best of what's still around When the world is running down You make the best of what's still around When I feel lonely here, don't waste my time with tears I run 'Deep Throat' again, it ran for years and years Don't like the food I eat, the cans are running out Same food for years and years, I hate the food I eat When the world is running down You make the best of what's still around When the world is running down You make the best of what's still around When the world is running down You make the best of what's still around When the world is running down |
