Sting - Bring On the Night / When the World Is Running Down You Make the Best of What's Still Around lyrics

The afternoon has gently pa**ed me by The evening spreads itself against the sky Waiting for tomorrow, it's just another day 'Cause I bid 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 staring me blind 'Cause I bid 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 spend another hour of daylight Bring on the night I couldn't stand another hour of daylight Bring on the night, bring on the night... Turn on my VCR, same one I've had for years James Brown on The T.A.M.I. Show, same tape I've had for years I sit in my old car, same one I've had for years Old battery's running 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 is running down You make the best of what's still around When the world is running down You make the best of what's still around When I feel lonely here, don't waste my time with tears I run Deep Throat again, it ran for years and years Don't like the food I eat, the cans are running out Same food for years and years, I hate the food I eat When the world is running down You make the best of what's still around When the world is running down You make the best of what's still around When the world (when the world) Is running down, down, down (is running down, down, down) You make the best of it (You make the best of it) What's still around, yeah (What's still around, yeah) When the world (when the world) Is running down, down, down (is running down, down, down) You make the best of it (you make the best of it) What's still around, yeah (what's still around, yeah) We five black guys that don't take the time This is the way we break down the line His name is not called with the most finesse 'Cause he can do it really good, he can do it the best Playin' up with Darryl Jones is on the ba** Playin' funky, funky grooves all over the place Playin' Omar Hakim all nice and neat He can hang it down with the funky, funky beat Dolette M. and Janice P. Playin' background vocals for you and me Playin' everybody's got to get goin' with the thing For the man for the night, it's Sting, it's Sting Wave your hands in the air And wave 'em like you just don't care They be gettin' down with Sting sounds Everybody say "oh yeah" (Oh yeah) Oh yeah (Oh yeah) Oh yeah (Oh yeah) Oh yeah (Oh yeah) Oh yeah (Oh yeah) You don't stop Say it, one for the money, two for The Police Come on everybody, let's rock this place Put your hands together, y'all Let's break: that's Sting Hit it Turn on my VCR, same one I've had for years James Brown on The T.A.M.I. Show, same tape I've had for years I sit in my old car, same one I've had for years Old battery's running 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 is running down You make the best of what's still around When the world is running down You make the best of what's still around When the world is running down You make the best of what's still around When the world is running down You make the best of what's still around
