The stars are all wasted and the moon's riding low
The vampires have feasted and we've packed up the show
So pour me another round
I never wanna come down until the lights go dim
No matter what I do to hold onto the night
Here comes the morning again
And the drunks on 18th Street sing Sweet Baby James
While the ghosts from uptown rattle their chains
So play me another song
I feel a buzz coming on and I never want it to end
No matter what I do to hold onto the night
Here comes the morning again
And there's no place you can hide
From the probing of daylight
So I'll wear my second skin
Until the sun goes down again
And the streets are a wasteland with no sign of life
But sleep is like quicksand and dreams are like knives
So fill me another cup
I can barely stand up but I'm in need of a friend
No matter what I do to hold onto the night
Here comes the morning again
No matter what I do to hold onto the night
Here comes the morning again
