Well its five at night

and im over you

i wanna

do whatever this empty bottle tells me to

and im so excited

that i feel no pain

and finally everythings right in place

with my heart again

and on the winds i can see

that its nothing but the summer in me

so hey la dee day

i come out tonight

i love to get lost in the

black and the white

put the colors in me

remembering when

i start looking over my shoulder again

im over your shoulder

and its a holiday weekend

only twelve twentyfive

i walk down to this neighborhood place

and im feelin alive

and its trapped in the alley

and the lighting is fair

bartenders laughing with strangers

i reach from the wall and i pull up a chair

singing luck be a lady

this is where i belong

and i know that your somewhere

singing along

sing hey la dee day

i come out tonight

i love to get lost in the

black and the white

put the colors in me

remembering when

i start looking over my shoulder again

cuz im over your shoulder

(piano solo)

there once was a dozen

now theres only a few

its just past one thirty

and im over you

there in across town shadows

i steal away

and let the gin shot of whiskey

take a good man back to his yesterdays

and it starts me on thinking

that you shoula stayed

and i think about sleeping

tonight in the bed that you made

sing hey la dee day

i come out tonight

i love to get lost in the

black and the white

put the colors in me

remembering when

i start looking over my shoulder again

im over your shoulder

its over your shoulder
