The Backyard Of My Life
When The Night Is Over
When the carousel casinos are all paid out
When every liars tongue goes up in flames
When the clown and the joker have had there last laugh
The darkest hour is always before the dawn
When the night is over and a new day is born
When the Hollywood vampires crawl back to there cave
When the boxer falls down in fight that was fixed
When the prostitute junkie whore dies in a ditch
The sun sinks like a ship on a scene that's dead
When the night is over there's a ghost in her head
Everybody knows that the deal is rotten
In the blink of an eye she will soon be forgotten
Everyone knows the house of cards will fall
They have seen the signs written on the wall
When the black swan brothel has closed its doors
When every cheater and low life has done there deed
When the jailer and the thief are both baptized in fire
The battle has only just begun for many men
When the night is over and the whole thing starts again
When the music stops playing in the dirty dance hall
When every criminal and hustler has show en there hand
When everybody who was waiting for the rapture is let loose
The demons catch dreams and keep them in a cadge
When the night is over then we turn the page
When the night is over
When the night is over
When the night is over
