Night Side

I’ll wait on the night side

No one tells me where I should go

I’ll wait on the night side

I’m awake and nobody knows

I’ll wait for the night ride

There’s a party at the edge of town

And everyone is going down

To the prettiest place

Where the glitter and lace are on

I will go there another day, another day

To make my way

See the painting on the wall

Press a button and I’ll make it fall

When it shatters to tears

Of the previous years alone

Goes the frame,

Oh it’s such a shame, it’s such a shame

But who can blame her after all

With the skeletons of happy clowns

And smaller girls with bigger sons

I’m a little intrigued by the people I chase around

Through the town, they will crush you when you make a sound

You make a sound

Is it over when the light comes in

When everything begins to spin

And the memories show

That the people they go away

Far away

Do you say the words you want to say

To make them stay?
