lyrics

There's nothing left of the night but a broken bottle,
and a broken man laying in the street.
But we're all there with him, in the thrall of pavement.
Yeah we're all there with him, in the street.

We all abuse the good intentions of others.

We're all just trying too hard, and we let ourselves down.
And all I see are two red tail lights as you're run out of town.
They say the answer's at bottoms of bottles and I'm ninety-nine down.
And every night's another excuse to let myself down.

Let's strike up all our matchbooks and illuminate the dark.
We might be stark raving mad but we're not scared of the dark.
We'll make our bed of napkins and sleep it all away.
I see the daylight breaking but I don't know what to say.
