lyrics

You put the inner tube on
I’ll tuck the tire to sleep at night
I’ll keep the kitchen light on
You take a stab at sunlight

One more night
One more dream to drawl on
One more day
And one more sword to fall on

The radiators’ all on
The radio’s on FMU
Reactor’s boiling over
Indian Point can’t push the power through

The windows’ icing over
The doors are closing and the ceiling is closer too
Remember when the day was bright,
The dark was night, and the house new

One more night
One more no more tomorrow
One more day
One more tough loss to swallow
One more kid
Let’s name her Jean or Harlow
One more night
And one more sword to swallow

Sword to swallow
Sword soup

Hate to beg, but I need to borrow
Hear today, going deaf tomorrow
Paperweights and time wait for no one
Dinner dates, they’re so 1990

One more night
One more friend to fall on
One more feint
One more fake involvement
One more lie
One more new soldier calling
One more dead
One more old timer falling
One more night
I’ll keep the kitchen light on
One more dance
The inner tube is tied on
One more lie
One more no more tomorrow
One more chance
And one more sword to swallow
