It's when billy's whores are re to seeorkin' | |
They're workin' with the skeleton crew | |
It's when the sky over jersey | |
That sky starts to drain from view | |
It's 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 there's one moment of light | |
When everything seems clear | |
The other side, it seems so near | |
What seemed wrong? | |
I think it's gonna be just about right | |
Before the city drops, the city drops | |
Into the night | |
It's when the door to the river | |
That door is like 26 miles | |
It's when ambitious little girls start | |
They start to dream about a change in style | |
It's when the slick boys got their fingers | |
They got their fingers in the telephone dial | |
But i think i'll just wait a while | |
Repeat refrain | |
It's when the sneak thieves are checkin' | |
They're checkin the alleys for unlocked doors | |
And billy's sister's gettin' frantic 'cause | |
'cause billy's sister's little brother can't score | |
It's when the woman from the dream is . . . | |
Oh my god! that's the woman on the floor | |
Each promise was just one promise more | |
Repeat refrain | |
It's when teddy's ghost is on the roof | |
Beatin' his drum | |
And teddy's best friend is two blocks east | |
And he's makin' teddy's ex-girlfriend come | |
You know, they mistook teddy's blind trust . . . | |
Just to prove that teddy was dumb . . . | |
But listen, you know, i think they are both just scum | |
Repeat refrain | |
It's when the body at the bottom, | |
That body is my own reflection | |
But it ain't hip to sink that low | |
Unless you're gonna make a resurrection | |
They're always gonna come to your door | |
They're gonna say, "it's just a routine inspection" | |
But what you get when you open your door | |
What you get is just another injection | |
And there's 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 vision's just some costly infection | |
But listen, you should come with me | |
I'm the fire, i'm the fire's reflection | |
I'm just a constant warning to take the other direction | |
Mister, i am your connection | |
Repeat refrain |

It' s when billy' s whores are re to seeorkin' | |
