Waitress is waiting, clock drops a beat, the snow is a vagrant sleeping in the street,
The neon sign's a serpent circling the moon, shedding its skin of blue light 'cross the room.

Well, it's not some pretty picture,
And it's not how it should be, for the night won't last forever,
Redemption comes like sunrise to wake to from your sleep,
Oh, the night won't last forever,
Oh, the night won't last forever.

Wash of the silence, the glow of cigarettes, renders the evening a fellowship of silhouettes,
Words never spoken, things left behind, promises they've broken follow them here tonight.

Well, it's not some pretty picture,
And it's not how it should be, for the night won't last forever,
Redemption comes like sunrise to wake to from your sleep,
The night won't last forever,
No, the night won't last forever.

Well, it's not some pretty picture,
And it's not how it should be, for the night won't last forever,
Redemption comes like sunrise to wake to from your sleep,
And the night won't last forever,
Oh, the night won't last forever,
The night won't last forever.
