Night By Night
"It's a beggar's life", said the queen of spades,
"But don't 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 it's wrong or of it's 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 the shotgun
Yes I'm cashing in this ten-cent life
For another one
Well, I ain't got a heart
To loose another fight
But until my ship comes in
I live night by night
