Ages of Cages: Let the Night Roll On

Let the Night Roll On

Stood up and lonely don’t want sympathy
Just pour another cup of your chamomile tea
And just... let the night roll on
Roll on by me

The waiter’s busy, good turn out tonight
But who ya got to chew in order to get a bite?
Oh, just... let the night roll on
Roll on by me

The music’s good, but I made the wrong stand
You know I got myself caught up in some verbal quicksand
So just... let the night roll on
Roll on by me…

Oh why’s the sun taking so long?

(Chorus)
Let the night roll on…
Let the night roll on
Just let the night roll on
Let the night roll on
Roll on by me…

Turkish rugs on the wall and spices in the air
The kind of atmosphere that like’s to cling to your hair
Oh, just... let the night roll on
Roll on by me

The painted faces from the back of the room
Remind me of the galas where the rich winos loom
So just... let the night roll on
Roll on by me

I seen you before now what was your name?
Don’t let me catch you with a new one when I’m pulling down the lane
No, no let the night roll on
Roll on by me…

Even after all of the rest are gone

(Chorus)
Let the night roll on…
Let the night roll on
Just let the night roll on
Let the night roll on
Roll on by me…

***

Right now I’d like to be anywhere but here
I can see the exit door but it just doesn’t seem near
So just... let the night roll on
Roll on by me

Crying clowns under copper street moons
Seems like the best healers have the deepest wounds
She burns her number on a napkin with her cigarette
She says, “call me when you’re lonesome and you need to forget”

(Chorus)
Let the night roll on…
Let the night roll on
Just let the night roll on
Let the night roll on
Roll on by me…

Stood up and lonely don’t want sympathy
Just pour another cup of your chamomile tea
And just let the night roll on
Roll on by me

Just let the night roll on
Roll on by me…
