Nighttime

Album: Eternal & Lowdown

Nighttime

 

Down in New Orleans, they say there’s two kind of people in the world

The day people and the night people

And it’s the night people’s job to get the day people’s money.

 

Nighttime is when I come around

Nighttime is when I come around

I get right when the sun goes down

 

Nighttime is when the neon comes on

Nighttime is when the neon comes on

When the sun goes down is when we shake and moan

 

Nighttime is for hi-jinx and kicks

Nighttime is for hi-jinx and kicks

Go downtown and hear some greasy guitar licks

Waste some time hanging out with Gurf Morlix

 

Pretty soon I gotta get back to New Orleans

And make a little money
