Paul Roberts - Night Starvation lyrics

You can bet that no one's safe that late at night round here they got rats in the alley terrorized by fear but it's late and it's hard to sleep and all my cigarettes have gone and fever curiosity pulls me out into the night alone Night starvation is k**ing me night starvation won't set me free Good lord I mean the woman next door she's been banging on my door she says she can't hear herself sleep - I say - is that all so I step out into these streets I don't know which way to go so I head for the river I've been that way before Night starvation is k**ing me night starvation won't set me free While the midnight surgeon makes a cut and everything goes red my mind is falling dead fresh linen on the bed There's a girl on the corner she stares as I pa** her by I don't even have the courage it takes to look her in the eye a car slows down beside me then speeds away again it's time to turn and head for home all good things must end Night starvation is k**ing me night starvation won't set me free
