The afternoon has gently passed me by
The evening spreads its sail against the sky
Waiting for tomorrow, just another day
Something yesterday good-bye

Bring on the night
I couldn't spend another hour of daylight
Bring on the night
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight

The future is but a question mark
Hangs above my head, there in the dark
Can't see for the brightness is staring me blind
Something yesterday good-bye

Bring on the night
I couldn't spend another hour of daylight
Bring on the night
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight

Bring on the night
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight
Bring on the night
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight

I say bring on bring on the night
Bring on the night
Bring on the night
Bring on the night
Bring on the night
Bring on the night
Bring on 

Turn on my V.C.R.
Same one I've had for years
James Brown on the Tammy show
Same tape I've had for years
I sit in my old car
Same one I've had for years
Old [bad word] down
It ran for years and years

Turn on the radio
The static hurts my ears
Tell me where would I go
I ain't been out in years
Turn on the stereo
It's played for years and years
An Otis Redding song
It's all I own

When the world [bad word] down
You make the best of what's still around
When the world [bad word] down
You make the best of what's still around

When I feel lonely here
Don't waste my time with tears [bad word] 'Deep Throat' again
It ran for years and years
Don't like the food I eat
The cans [bad word] out
Same food for years and years
I hate the food I eat

When the world [bad word] down
You make the best of what's still around
When the world [bad word] down
You make the best of what's still around

When the world [bad word] down down
You make the best of yeah
What's still around yeah

When the world [bad word] down down
You make the best of yeah
What's still around yeah

Turn on my V.C.R.
Same one I've had for years

It ran for years and years

Tell me where would I go
I ain't been out in years
Turn on the stereo

It's all I own

When the world [bad word] down
You make the best of what's still around
When the world [bad word] down
You make the best of what's still around

When the world [bad word] down
You make the best of what's still around
When the world [bad word] down
You make the best of what's still around
