For a Dreamer, Night's the Only Time of Day

The busy streets And the even busier Patrons and vehicles Argue my elusive steps Through the blur of urgency. Here, I'm always on my toes. Until a abrupt blond door Stowing a porcelain blond girl Knock me right onto my back. And for a moment we're alone. And we both know that we're trapped. If morning never brings Salvation for either one of us, Leave me and save yourself, I'll only slow you down. Breathe in slowly, Are you listening? On this muted block Everything is paused. Your glow, blinding, breaches my pupils. I taste your skin. I see our kids. I manage to siphon Some breath out from my gut. Tell you to take my hand and run. I'll be waiting for you to come home. Extra! Extra! Read all about it! A corporate's head been murdered! His secretary found him. Scandal! Slander! Catch all the gossip! From what I hear The cheif executive deserved it. Let's leave tonight at dusk When the lights shine bright. Miles of cracked, crooked paths Lit by buzzing filament And neon gla*s. If morning never brings salvation, Leave me and save yourself. I'll always love you.
