That Time Of The Night

Marillion

At that time of the night 
When streetlights throw crosses through window frames
Paranoia roams where the shadows reign
Oh, at that time of the night
At that time of the night 
Your senses tangled in some new perfume
Criticism triggers of a loaded room
Oh, at that time of the night

So if you ask me
How do I fell inside
I could honestly tell you 
We've been taken on a very long ride
And if my owners let me 
Have some free time some day 
With all good intention 
I would probably run away
Clutching the short straw

At that time of the night
When questions rally in an open mind 
Summon all your answers with an ice cube chime
At that time of the night
At that time of the night
Pretend you're off the hook with the telephone 
Your confidence wounded in a free fire zone
Oh, at that time of the night

So if you ask me 
Where do I go from here
My next destination 
Even isn't really that clear
So if you join me 
And get on your knees and prey
I'll show you salvation 
We'll take the alternative way 
Clutching the short straw

If I had enough money 
I'd buy a round for that boy over-there 
A companion in my madness in the mirror 
The one with the silvery hair
And if some kind soul 
Could please pick up my tab
And while they're at it
If they could pick up my broken heart

Warm wet circles
