City Drops Into the Night

It's when Billy's whores are re to seeorkinThey'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
