useless nights

Singer:downie, gord

we're at cross seas

yea you and me

it's impractical to dream

in the wind from the west

and the current moving east

i'm as happy as

my least happy kid

i'm not happy about it

nor humiliated about it

we are together on this

please be good to me

yea save me from the useless nights

sleeping in dreary places

i'm bored with being down

just listen

don't guess - please - alright

what am i for? hey now?

to be just understood

jumping shadow to shadow

never eye to eye

in my neighbourhood

everybody needs it

needs to be understood

whether we're jumping shadows

between the secret moon it's trying

and it's really

really

really

really good

ah please be good to me

yea please save me from the useless nights
