Its when billys whores are re to seeorkin
Theyre workin with the skeleton crew
Its when the sky over jersey
That sky starts to drain from view
Its when my woman pawns her voice so
So she can make her old excuses sound new
But I just want one clue
Refrain:
cause when the city drops into the night
Before the darkness theres one moment of light
When everything seems clear
The other side, it seems so near
What seemed wrong?
I think its gonna be just about right
Before the city drops, the city drops
Into the night
Its when the door to the river
That door is like 26 miles
Its when ambitious little girls start
They start to dream about a change in style
Its when the slick boys got their fingers
They got their fingers in the telephone dial
But I think Ill just wait a while
Repeat refrain
Its when the sneak thieves are checkin
Theyre checkin the alleys for unlocked doors
And billys sisters gettin frantic cause
cause billys sisters little brother cant score
Its when the woman from the dream is . . .
Oh my god! thats the woman on the floor
Each promise was just one promise more
Repeat refrain
Its when teddys ghost is on the roof
Beatin his drum
And teddys best friend is two blocks east
And hes makin teddys ex-girlfriend come
You know, they mistook teddys blind trust . . .
Just to prove that teddy was dumb . . .
But listen, you know, I think they are both just scum
Repeat refrain
Its when the body at the bottom,
That body is my own reflection
But it aint hip to sink that low
Unless youre gonna make a resurrection
Theyre always gonna come to your door
Theyre gonna say, its just a routine inspection
But what you get when you open your door
What you get is just another injection
And theres always gonna be one more
With just a little bit less until the next one
They wait in shadows and steal the light from your eyes
To them visions just some costly infection
But listen, you should come with me
Im the fire, Im the fires reflection
Im just a constant warning to take the other direction
Mister, I am your connection
Repeat refrain
