Bang out the night song

On an old kettle drum

Don't ask for no ransom

Ain't payin you none



Ground to a halt

With suspicion for all

You say "watch me fly"



I suppose that you're gone

But i don't care to look

Don't give me the truth

Give me shackles



Bang out the night song

From deep in my chest

Are you listening?



But last night (oh last night)

Late last night (late last night)

Last night, you were forgiveness

And last night (oh last night)

Late last night (late last night)

Last night you were the end



Walked to the dawn

Along rnisery's mile

Stopped under a streetlight

And burned off my smile



Trust was your mirror

And trust was your fool

Are you listenin'



And now that i'm gone

Give the tears to your friends

I'll take what i'm due

Then i'll strangle



Bang out the night song

You can beat it to death

You can watch me fly



But last night (oh last night)

Late last night (late last night)

Last night, you were forgiveness

And last night (oh last night)

Late last night (late last night)

Last night you were the end



Raisin' my spirits

My head on the floor

Turned around fast

Walkin' back to your door



This run of bad luck

Stuck like sleep in yer eyes

Couldn't see a thing



But last night, late last night

Last night, you were forgiveness

Oh last night, late last night

Last night you were the end



I'm comin' back to ya

No religion to sell

Bang out the night song

Ain't stuck in this hell

Oh last night

Late last night

Last night you were forgivin
