Marillion - That Time Of The Night (The Short Straw)
At that time of the night
When streetlights throw crosses through
Window frames, paranoia roams
Where the shadows reign
Oh, at that time of the night
At that time of the night
Your senses tangled
In some new perfume
Criticism triggers of a loaded room,
Oh, at that time of the night
So if you ask me how do I fell inside
I could honestly tell you
We've been taken on a very long ride
And if my owners let me
Have some free time some day
With all good intention
I would probably run away
Clutching the short straw
At that time of the night
When questions rally in an open mind
Summon all your answers
With an ice cubes chime
At that time of the night,
At that time of the night
Pretend you're off the hook
With the telephone
Your confidence wounded
In a free fire zone,
Oh, at that time of the night
So if you ask me where do I go from here,
My next destination even isn't really that clear.
So if you join me
And get on your knees and prey,
I'll show you salvation
We'll take the alternative way
Clutching the short straw
If I had enough money
I'd buy a round for that boy over-there
A companion in my madness
In the mirror
The one with the silvery hair.
And if some kind soul could please pick up my tab
And while they're at it if they could
Pick up my broken heart.
[Warm Wet Circle]
