Hanging on to the night
Walking in the dark
He's searching for the light
Says it's not far
Tells me it's not far
See him across the street
Soul in his hand
Soon he's gonna trade it for
One last dance
For one last dance
Sound of the empty street
Streetlights flicker on and off
Got his mind stuck in a dream
The one that never stops
The one that never stops
If you give a mouse a cookie
I won't ask for more
If you're living in the city
I can't be sure
If I drive to Mississippi
Will I find you there
Won't you still make me cookies
Leave them on the stairs
