Night Starvation |
You can bet that no one’s safe that late at night round here |
They got rats in the alley terrorized by fear |
But it’s late and it’s hard to sleep and all my cigarettes have gone |
And fever curiosity pulls me out into the night alone |
Night starvation is killing me |
Night starvation won’t set me free |
Good lord I mean the woman next door she’s been banging on my door |
She says she can’t hear herself sleep — I say — is that all |
So I step out into these streets I don’t know which way to go |
So I head for the river I’ve been that way before |
Night starvation is killing me |
Night starvation won’t set me free |
While the midnight surgeon makes a cut |
And everything goes red |
My mind is falling dead |
Fresh linen on the bed |
There’s a girl on the corner she stares as I pass her by |
I don’t even have the courage it takes to look her in the eye |
A car slows down beside me then speeds away again |
It’s time to turn and head for home all good things must end |
Night starvation is killing me |
Night starvation won’t set me free |
