lyrics

"Tonight's the Night" got me through some bad times. You were fast asleep I was drinking till the sunshine bathed me in its warmth, bathed me in its strange oppression. I've been making love to you for years in my dreams. The nighttime rules my senses, it sure don't keep my conscience clean. It was rye whisky and Bobby D. You were in my arms, felt a little bit free. My dogs are always barking, and that's ok. Justin's making food up in my parents' kitchen, 3am on Monday night these kids just never listen. They say you can't do everything you want, why not? Listening to records from the seventies, you're the only one who would recognize these: Gentle Giant, Rainbow, Uriah Heep. I know my soul's soaked in punk rock, I don't listen to records just to hear myself talk. Glory nights and horror days, laughing at time as it slips away. If you died tomorrow, if you died tomorrow well you know what I'm gonna say. I mean c'mon what the hell you gotta lose, well everything yeah, but every gambler's gotta choose. They say you can't do everything you want, why not? I know it kinda sounds like Harvest Moon but its got different chords, its got a different tune. Where are you tonight, where are you my sweet Jane? I'm resigned to the fact that I may never find peace, love is all I want so give it to me please. Here's the last verse, hope you liked my song. I woke up and felt it coming on. Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes life can be so fair. But that's another song that's another day, girl you live in my heart--you're never far away.
