When The Night Comes lyrics

Album(s)	Best Of The Boomtown Rats

Lyrics

The offices are emptying their pale-faced wards into the street
Flickering their strip-light eyes, shivering they readjust their lives
From the air-conditioned heat
The humdrum and mundane
Is nearly driving them insane
But you get hooked so quick to anything
Even your chains
You're crouching in your corner 'til they open up your cage

Chorus:
And when the night comes
It'll help you disappear
And when the night comes
Forget about the day that brought you here

Frankie takes the train and makes it home in time to catch the evening news
Opening a can of beans he learns the world has turned without much help from him
Hey frank, why not get drunk tonight?
Hey frank, I think it'll be alright
You'll be too far gone to notice when the neighbors start complaining
But they're used to it by now, every day's the same

(Repeat chorus)

And when the night comes
He might get on the phone
She's a stuck-up bitch
But she lives on her own
And he heard her talking dirty to the girls the other day
And she knew that he had heard her and she looked "as if to say"
And then later up in marketing while going through the files
She bent a little too far down, then turned around and smiled
He got her number
He got the phone
He dialed the number
He heard the tone
He said "tonight's the night that I've been waiting for
Oh I know you've seen me worship you from afar
And I might tell you that I love you and I will but just for
Tonight, one night, alright tonight."
In his three piece cunning camouflage nobody
Can guess what frankie's thinking
Last night she said "i don't know if I'm drowning
Maybey it's because I'm sinking."
He said "it'll be okay
I'll get outta here one day"
And she said "frankie, you're no different from any of the rest
They've nailed you to that table and chained you to your desk."
But when the night comes...

(Repeat chorus)
