night slumming

well good evening to

the dirty bordellos

and good evening to

the girls who work uptown

and say hello

well hello

to the gay young fellows

who make their love

on the meat rack

in their sister's gowns

well i ain't no king

but i ain't no princess

and i don't get drunk

no no

but i can still be blown away

the phantom lover of the future

and i don't go to work

'cause i sleep all through the day

talkin' 'bout

night

night

night

night slummin'

night

night

night

night slummin'

night

night

night

night slummin'

so when you see me tonight

i'd be reaching the heights

so were coming

i never counted on. all the good things have been taken away from me

aww

heavy or hard

i know those younger punches

cause tonight is another day for destiny

well the damage is done

hey i can't really feel it

well i don't fault your love and

the bathroom stains

oh yeah

and its a little too fast and dieing too young

that's what we're talking about

well it's this slummin' that makes me

stop to think

night

night

night

night slummin'

night

night

night

night slummin'

night

night

night

night slummin'
