Edward Hopper Lyrics

These are descending chords
These are descending times
These are disposable situationsOh, somewhere in the night
Oh, somewhere in the nightOn a tip from Jack downtown
All the kids they hang around
Like an Edward Hopper PaintingShattered dreams and a cymbal crash
Product of the working class
With all the usual disclaimersOh, somewhere in the night
Oh, somewhere in the night
Keep on burning out that light
Oh, somewhere in the nightFind a time place where time will stop
Playing Frankie Teardrop
When all your friends have all grown upBetween the gossip and the gospel
At the hotel she was high
You don't know how desperate I've becomeOh, somewhere in the night
Oh, somewhere in the night
Keep on burning out that light
Oh, somewhere in the nightYou can't blame me no more

You can't blame me no more
You don't where I've been
You can't blame me no moreI know your father told you
And your mother never held you
How'd they let you stay away so longOh, somewhere in the night
Oh, somewhere in the night
Keep on burning out that light
Oh, somewhere in the nightHey, child with all your might
Oh somewhere in the night
