These are descending chords These are descending times These are disposable situations Oh, somewhere in the night Oh, somewhere in the night On a tip from Jack downtown All the kids they hang around Like an Edward Hopper Painting Shattered dreams and a cymbal crash Product of the working cla** With all the usual disclaimers Oh, somewhere in the night Oh, somewhere in the night Keep on burning out that light Oh, somewhere in the night Find a time place where time will stop Playing Frankie Teardrop When all your friends have all grown up Between the gossip and the gospel At the hotel she was high You don't know how desperate I've become Oh, somewhere in the night Oh, somewhere in the night Keep on burning out that light Oh, somewhere in the night You can't blame me no more You can't blame me no more You don't where I've been You can't blame me no more I know your father told you And your mother never held you How'd they let you stay away so long Oh, somewhere in the night Oh, somewhere in the night Keep on burning out that light Oh, somewhere in the night Hey, child with all your might Oh somewhere in the night
