In the Dark

So many people are awake in the city I see 'em walking up and down the road You'd think eventually they would be sleepy And try to find a quiet place to go But there's a limited number of spaces With comfy mattresses and soft pillows Whether your bed is just a spot on the pavement Or an apartment on the 85th floor You're gonna end every day of your life lying there In the dark You're gonna end every day of your life lying there I'm tired of writing pretty invitations To the slumber that never comes Clock ticks, talking all night And an empty stomach keeping me up Dancing all evening, all my friends Stumbling drunks Hanging back, thinking you're better But I don't care who you are You're gonna end every day of your life lying there In the dark In the dark of your room In the dark In the dark Brain still humming a tune Pray for the sleep that's coming And hope for the dawn to hold on Hold on It's no wonder I don't dream about you It's no wonder I don't sleep I don't dream I woke up early and I stood at the window Felt like the only body in the world Raincoats, taxi horns One big yellow blur I'm hanging on to sense, making a little Watch me pour it down the hole If you've got somebody Or you crawl into a bed all alone You're gonna end every day of your life lying there In the dark In the dark of your room In the dark In the dark Brain still humming a tune Pray for the sleep that's coming And hope for the dawn to hold on Hold on Hold on
