Life of the Night

The bars are closed the people paired or wondered off along
Everybody's out tonight makin bread or getting stoned
The boys in blue are sipping their free coffee in the lot
Of the all night doughnut store where it's all ways piping hot

Chorus
The town is teaming with the life of the night
Boys down on fourth street got into a fight
One was doing business, the other one was tight
Miking bourbon and cocaine that boy was flying like a kite

The waitress at the doughnut store looked strangely at the man
Starin blankly at the notebook and the pencil in his hand
The cops are quite suspicious sitting in their car
He looks kind of like the poster but he hasn't got no scar

Chorus

The cops had to cut their coffee break short
Go down to the hospital and fill out the report
A trucker crossed on King Street without stopping for the light
Barely missing a car weaving across the yellow line

Nurse in emergency sat chewing on her pen
When the silence was broken by the noise of two men
Their were dragin a limp body thru the automatic door
And they yelled go call the doctor while the blood spilled on the floor

Chorus
