	作词 : Carroll, Linsley, Linsley
	It's when billy's whores are re to seeorkin'
	They're workin' with the skeleton crew
	It's when the sky over jersey
	That sky starts to drain from view
	It's when my woman pawns her voice so
	So she can make her old excuses sound new
	But i just want one clue
	Refrain:
	'cause when the city drops into the night
	Before the darkness there's one moment of light
	When everything seems clear
	The other side, it seems so near
	What seemed wrong?
	I think it's gonna be just about right
	Before the city drops, the city drops
	Into the night
	It's when the door to the river
	That door is like 26 miles
	It's when ambitious little girls start
	They start to dream about a change in style
	It's when the slick boys got their fingers
	They got their fingers in the telephone dial
	But i think i'll just wait a while
	Repeat refrain
	It's when the sneak thieves are checkin'
	They're checkin the alleys for unlocked doors
	And billy's sister's gettin' frantic 'cause
	'cause billy's sister's little brother can't score
	It's when the woman from the dream is . . .
	Oh my god! that's the woman on the floor
	Each promise was just one promise more
	Repeat refrain
	It's when teddy's ghost is on the roof
	Beatin' his drum
	And teddy's best friend is two blocks east
	And he's makin' teddy's ex-girlfriend come
	You know, they mistook teddy's blind trust . . .
	Just to prove that teddy was dumb . . .
	But listen, you know, i think they are both just scum
	Repeat refrain
	It's when the body at the bottom,
	That body is my own reflection
	But it ain't hip to sink that low
	Unless you're gonna make a resurrection
	They're always gonna come to your door
	They're gonna say, "it's just a routine inspection"
	But what you get when you open your door
	What you get is just another injection
	And there's always gonna be one more
	With just a little bit less until the next one
	They wait in shadows and steal the light from your eyes
	To them vision's just some costly infection
	But listen, you should come with me
	I'm the fire, i'm the fire's reflection
	I'm just a constant warning to take the other direction
	Mister, i am your connection
	Repeat refrain
