Last One Of The Night People

Lyrics

The waitresses counted their tips
 And all went home
 Bartenders just closed the door
 The place down the street has been closed for two hours
 There's no place to have just one more
 And you've played all your best riffs
 And you told all your best jokes
 You sang all of the songs you know
 And the girl you've been eyeing down at the first table
 She left half an hour ago
 You're the last one of the night people
 Walking with your coat in your hands
 You're the last one of the night people
 Hitting the streets once again
 The sky's getting brighter
 Oh, it shows mornings promise
 Look, the sun's coming up before long
 The streets are so empty
 But soon they'll be filling
 With the workday rush hour throng
 And you stare at the ground
 As you're walking along
 Remembering the holes in your shoes
 The rhythm of footsteps keeps echoing over
 And over the beat of the blues
 You're the last one of the night people
 Taking your time, walking slow
 You're the last one of the night people
 Kicking a can as you go
 ♪
 Counting the lamp posts
 All the cracks in the sidewalks
 You're staring with eyes open wide
 You see your reflection
 In the shops that are sleeping
 Oh, you know that reflection inside
 And there's only one car
 In the streets still in motion
 It's the cops on their morning patrol
 See they pay no attention
 'Cause it's business at usual
 It just takes one glance, and they'll know
 You're the last one of the night people
 Trying to get home before dawn
 You're the last one of the night people
 Waking and singing your song
 You're just walking and singing
 Singing and living it's all
