NIGHT BY NIGHT 

 
"It's a beggars life"
said the Queen of Spades
"But dont tell it to the poor man
Cause he's got to kill for every thrill, the best he can"
 
Everywhere around me
I see Jealousy and Mayhem
Because no men have all their peace of mind
To carry them

Well I don't really care
If its wrong or if its right
But until my Ship comes in
I live night by night
 
When the joker tried to tell me
I could cut it in this rube town
When he tried to hang that sign on me
I said "take it down"

 
When the dawn patrol got to tell you twice
They don't do it with a shotgun
Yes, I'm cashin' in this ten-cent life
For another one

Well I ain't got the heart
To lose another fight
So until my ship comes in
I live night by night

[Solo]

Well I don't really care
If it's wrong or if it's right
But until my ship comes in
I live night by night
