At that time of the night
When streetlights throw crosses through window frames
Paranoia roams where the shadows reign
Oh, at that time of the night
At that time of the night
Your senses tangled in some new perfume
Criticism triggers of a loaded room
Oh, at that time of the night
So if you ask me
How do I feel inside
I could honestly tell you
We've been taken on a very long ride
And if my owners let me have some free time some day
With all good intention I would probably run away
Clutching the short straw
At that time of the night
When questions rally in an open mind
Summon all your answers with an ice cubes chime
At that time of the night
At that time of the night
Pretend you're off the hook with the telephone
Your confidence wounded in a free fire zone
Oh, at that time of the night
So if you ask me
Where do I go from here
My next destination even isn't really that clear
So if you join me and get on your knees and prey
I'll show you salvation
We'll take the alternative way
Clutching the short straw
If I had enough money I'd buy a round for that boy over there
A companion in my madness in the mirror the one with the silvery hair
And if some kind soul could please pick up my tab
And while they're at it if they could pick up my broken heart.
Warm wet circles

Marillion è un gruppo musicale britannico di rock progressivo formatosi ad Aylesbury nel 1977. La formazione originale comprendeva Steve Hogarth (voce), Mark Kelly (tastiere), Pete Trewavas (basso) e Ian Mosley (batteria). Il loro sound, caratterizzato da melodie intricate, testi poetici e un'atmosfera spesso malinconica, ha conquistato un seguito fedele nel corso degli anni. Dopo il successo del primo album, *Script for a Jester's Tear* (1983), la band ha attraversato diverse fasi di evoluzione, con cambiamenti nella formazione e sperimentazioni musicali. Il loro periodo più popolare è stato negli anni '80, con album come *Fugazi* (1984) e *Misplaced Childhood* (1985). Negli anni '90, Marillion ha continuato a registrare e esibirsi, mantenendo un forte legame con i fan. Steve Hogarth è diventato il frontman principale nel 1989, portando la band verso una nuova era musicale. Alcuni dei loro brani più rappresentativi sono *Kayleigh*, *Incommunicado* e *The Leavers*. Marillion rimane oggi una delle band progressive più influenti e amate al mondo.
