Step in from the rain
|
It's the nightingales on 2nd Avenue and I can't complain
|
It's a busy night
|
The regulars know me but all the same they decide I'm alright
|
Whiskey hit me fast
|
Don't mess with that stranger over there he'll do the same and you both may last
|
|
No I won't regret
|
The air is thick and wet
|
With defense and desire
|
|
Little girl what you doing here
|
Don't mess with that vampire in the corner who beckons you near
|
Are you waiting for the band to play
|
It's too loud in here for words but those staring eyes have much to say
|
|
If you meet those eyes in fun
|
Could be trouble for you if you don't back up what you've begun
|
|
No I won't regret
|
The air is thick and wet
|
With defense and desire
|
|
Gonna run the show someday
|
Gonna buy this bar and everything in it and run it all my way
|
Talk to you about it till dawn
|
Tell you all my plans and twisted dreams until the blow is gone
|
By providence I'm sent
|
Into this unsuspecting tavern to build and feed on your discontent
|
|
No I won't regret
|
The air is thick and wet
|
With defense and desire
|
