The Walkabouts Nighttown Lyrics
1.Unwind

you're an open gate
You're an open gate
on a barbed wire fence
On a barbed wire fence
swingin' back and forth
Swingin' back and forth
you know it scares me half to death
You know it scares me half to death
funny how it moved
Funny how it moved
from a blessin' to a curse
From a blessin' to a curse
ain't it funny how we moved
Ain't it funny how we moved
from the cursed, to the doomed
From the cursed, to the doomed

will you
Will you
will you unwind
Will you unwind
this heart of mine?
This heart of mine?
heart of mine
Heart of mine

busted but not broke
Busted but not broke
shaken up and stirred
Shaken up and stirred
watch out who you tell
Watch out who you tell
this night is hangin' on each word
This night is hangin' on each word
but when the mornin' comes
But when the mornin' comes
and the lies are cheap
And the lies are cheap
you'll say: 'to live is to lose'
You'll say: 'to live is to lose'
I'll say: 'losin's the one thing... that we all keep'
I'll say: 'losin's the one thing... that we all keep'

will you... will you unwind?
Will you... will you unwind?
this heart of mine... heart of mine
This heart of mine... heart of mine

both a blessin' and a curse
Both a blessin' and a curse
in everything we've heard
In everything we've heard
a blessin' and a curse
A blessin' and a curse
this night is hangin' on... each... word
This night is hangin' on... each... word

Lift Your Burdens Up
Been a lot of rain out there
rainin' blind
summer's comin' slow ... this year
it's rainin' blind
If ya come back tonight
... I'll let it ... fall away
if ya come back tonight
ya better have ... the guts to stay
gravel's loose ... and the load is shiftin'
dreams are heavy ... they could use ... some ... liftin'

come back now ... lay all your burdens down
and with a little luck ... I'll lift your burdens up

between my thoughts and my deeds
delusion lies
I've forgotten everything
we ever tried
but if ya come back tonight
careful what you bring
the sky's unwinding here
twisted like a busted spring
gravel's loose ... and the load is shiftin'
dreams are heavy ... they could use ... some ... liftin'

come back now ... and lay all your burdens down
and with a little luck ... I'll lift your burdens up ... burdens
up

If ya need me ... you can call
If ya need me ... I will call you
If ya need me ... you can call
If I need you ... I will call you

ain't goin' anywhere fast
gonna sit right here
til the sky blows ... blows on past

come back now ... lay all your burdens down
and with a little luck ... I'll lift your burdens up
and when the trigger's pulled ... ya know I'll follow through
and you can bet your luck ... I'll list your burdens up ...
burdens up


2.Follow Me An Angel

The city's shiverin'
The city's shiverin'
Shivers in the heat
Shivers in the heat
That we call summertime
That we call summertime
And I'm deliverin'
And i'm deliverin'
The one piece of the puzzle
The one piece of the puzzle
That you could not find
That you could not find

Follow me an angel
Follow me an angel
Follow every fool I can tonight
Follow every fool i can tonight
Follow me an angel
Follow me an angel
From the rooftops
From the rooftops
These streets
These streets
Don't seem so bright
Don't seem so bright

The clocks have lost their hands
The clocks have lost their hands
The clouds take off their shirts
The clouds take off their shirts
And show their scars to me
And show their scars to me
And we're out kickin cans
And we're out kickin cans
Chasin' sirens
Chasin' sirens
Past the gate ... of your driveway
Past the gate ... of your driveway
Now here's the teeth to the city
Now here's the teeth to the city
The keys to your wings
The keys to your wings
The promise that I won't say no
The promise that i won't say no
Though we ain't lookin' pretty
Though we ain't lookin' pretty
There's some places open late
There's some places open late
Where we can go
Where we can go

Follow me an angel
Follow me an angel
Follow every fucked-up fool tonight
Follow every fucked-up fool tonight
Follow me an angel
Follow me an angel
From the rooftops
From the rooftops
These streets don't seem so bright
These streets don't seem so bright

5.Forever Gone

Streaks of light
on the graveyard walk
your bright star was crashin'
crashin' the dark
dreamed of a cold night
to freeze it in place
dreamed of ship bells and thunder
ringin' us under
dreamed all the way home
that you'd never go
talked up and down it
mornin', noon and night
alone in the optimists chair
said our instincts were right
but now I know the clean choice
was the worst choice of all
I'd rather feel guilt
than this desert inside
I'd rather steal wicked
than lay down in pride
gone forever
forever gone
made a mess of this town
but that's what we always do
throwin' glass to the floor
now it's cuttin' right through
more than a year's time
'til ya give up the scheme
my wood matches meltin'
the ghosts from your wedding ring
never trusted fate
but I wish that I had
fate is what answered
your slow cry for help
fate was your motive
your fate was yourself
gone forever
forever gone
made a mess of this town
but that's what we always do
throwin' glass to the floor
now it's cuttin' right through
gone forever
forever gone
I'd rather feel guilt
than this desert inside
I'd rather steal wicked
than lay down in pride
seems like a long time... oooh!

13.Harbour Lights

Harbour lights will change your plans
more than judge or jury can
what a sight
flickerin' like prayers of grace
how could you ever lose this place?
what a sight
But I'm sure I don't stand
a ghost of a chance
to stay here past the time, when all my checks run out
to stay here past the time, when all my checks... run... out
Chinese junks are driftin' in
the foghorn blows its low warnin'
across the stars
glistening fluorescent tears
finally know what kept me here
harbour lights
and I wonder if you
are makin' it through
we all hang from a single thread and a thousand truths
we all hang from a single thread and a thousand... truths
harbour lights will change your plans
more than judge or jury can
what a sight
But I'm sure I don't stand
a ghost of a chance
to stay here past the time, when all my checks run out
and I wonder if you
are makin' it through
I wonder under which moon do you sleep tonight
I wonder under which moon do you say... good... night

We need a better idea, here quick

Before the sun's beatin' down on our necks
We need a better idea, here quick
We need a better idea
Before the sun's beatin' down on our necks
Watch us speed, to the end of the world
We need a better idea
Promise all, that we've already heard
Watch us speed, to the end of the world
and still we're nowhere

And still we're nowhere
How you left him to shout down the stairs
I don't care to know all the details

Slow Red Dawn is gonna come
I don't care to know
Slow Red Dawn is comin' on

Slow red dawn is comin' on
Do you see that thin strip of light there?
Slow red dawn
On the skyline, it seems unaware
Do you see that thin strip of light there?
that we haven't slept yet
On the skyline, it seems unaware
But as long as we still laugh for keeps
That we haven't slept yet
and you swear you were dyin' to leave
But as long as we still laugh for keeps
There's no reason to sleep
And you swear you were dyin' to leave
Slow Red Dawn is gonna come
There's no reason to sleep
Slow Red Dawn is comin' on
Slow red dawn is gonna come
Slow Red Dawn
Slow red dawn is comin' on
Slow Red Dawn is gonna come
Slow red dawn
Slow Red Dawn is comin' on
Slow red dawn is gonna come
Slow Red Dawn

Do ya see that light there?
Slow red dawn
On the skyline unaware
Do ya see that light there?
Do ya see that light there?
On the skyline unaware
comin' on
Do ya see that light there?
Are we gonna let it flag?
Comin' on
I think we got it in the bag
Are we gonna let it flag?
Do ya see the light there?
I think we got it in the bag
Comin' on
Do ya see the light there?

17.Follow Me An Angel

The city's shiverin'
The city's shiverin'
Shivers in the heat
Shivers in the heat
That we call summertime
That we call summertime
And I'm deliverin'
And i'm deliverin'
The one piece of the puzzle
The one piece of the puzzle
That you could not find
That you could not find

Follow me an angel
Follow me an angel
Follow every fool I can tonight
Follow every fool i can tonight
Follow me an angel
Follow me an angel
From the rooftops
From the rooftops
These streets
These streets
Don't seem so bright
Don't seem so bright

The clocks have lost their hands
The clocks have lost their hands
The clouds take off their shirts
The clouds take off their shirts
And show their scars to me
And show their scars to me
And we're out kickin cans
And we're out kickin cans
Chasin' sirens
Chasin' sirens
Past the gate ... of your driveway
Past the gate ... of your driveway
Now here's the teeth to the city
Now here's the teeth to the city
The keys to your wings
The keys to your wings
The promise that I won't say no
The promise that i won't say no
Though we ain't lookin' pretty
Though we ain't lookin' pretty
There's some places open late
There's some places open late
Where we can go
Where we can go

Follow me an angel
Follow me an angel
Follow every fucked-up fool tonight
Follow every fucked-up fool tonight
Follow me an angel
Follow me an angel
From the rooftops
From the rooftops
These streets don't seem so bright
These streets don't seem so bright


18.Slow Red Dawn

We need a better idea, here quick

Before the sun's beatin' down on our necks
We need a better idea, here quick
We need a better idea
Before the sun's beatin' down on our necks
Watch us speed, to the end of the world
We need a better idea
Promise all, that we've already heard
Watch us speed, to the end of the world
and still we're nowhere
Promise all, that we've already heard
I don't care to know all the details
And still we're nowhere
How you left him to shout down the stairs
I don't care to know all the details
I don't care to know
How you left him to shout down the stairs
Slow Red Dawn is gonna come
I don't care to know
Slow Red Dawn is comin' on

Slow red dawn
On the skyline, it seems unaware

But as long as we still laugh for keeps
There's no reason to sleep
And you swear you were dyin' to leave

19.Nightbirds

The nightbirds stumble in
like broken pendulums
the nightbirds stumble in
flown from thick to thin
'neath a cloud of suspicion
you're a lucky man
say it again
the nightrain's pourin' down
as the nightsky hits the town
the nightbirds stumble in
there are orders to be filled
there are tall ones to be killed
there are songs of praises to be sung
will they all go south on us?
with the crazies, with our trust?
I trust you'll tell me
if you lose that trust
the nightrain's pourin' down
as the nightsky hits the town
the nightbirds stumble in
you're a lucky man
say it again
I'm a lucky man
say it again
