After dark
All Is quiet on these suburban streets
City sleeps
But tonight there is no sleep for me
After dark
I hear that siren song
After dark
Wide awake
Wide awake
Grab my vibrolux
& My old axe
Throw em in the back seat
Of a yellow cab
After dark
Down where the neon starts
After dark
Wide awake
Wide awake
Work a day
Never ever did that much for me
Took a holiday
Now play the dives in perpetuity
After dark
That's when the party starts
After dark
You pick up your guitar & play
After dark
A grand design
This poor man's idle luxury
Heart & soul
I'll play the piper for eternity
After dark
Down where the neon starts
After dark
Wide awake
After dark
