Night Train(Smooth Alligator)
I'm a working alien in a land of heat and stone
a casulaty of an economic war
that took me away from home.
It's the politics of money and power
It's the hope that we can build a future in world
getting smaller everywhere
Bridge:
I can hear a siren in the workyard
another shift and I'll be closer to you
I'm a working dog in Babylon and only
your love can get me through
Chorus:
Foreign nights -- took you away from me
Foreign nights -- are not where I belong
Foreign nights -- filled with dust and dreams
Foreign nights -- trapped me in Babylon
a casulaty of an economic war
that took me away from home.
It's the politics of money and power
It's the hope that we can build a future in world
getting smaller everywhere
Bridge:
I can hear a siren in the workyard
another shift and I'll be closer to you
I'm a working dog in Babylon and only
your love can get me through
Chorus:
Foreign nights -- took you away from me
Foreign nights -- are not where I belong
Foreign nights -- filled with dust and dreams
Foreign nights -- trapped me in Babylon
16 Days
On the phone
Til 4 a.m.
We go over everything
The last years
And how we wasted them
On the phone
Til 4 a.m.
We go over everything
Tomorrow keeps on coming
I will never leave you, love
I will never leave you
16 days will melt away
And, I'll be on the plane
Your face is the sun
How did I choose the darkness
There seems no explanation
I'd travel back
To change it if I could
I'd change it if I could
Tomorrow...
So, let's hang on
To the last precious minutes
Of today
As they slip away
Soon the dark will give in
To the first grey light
Tomorrow keeps on coming
Thank God for second chances
For true love and forgiveness
16 Days will melt away
And I'll be on the plane
Moving through time to you
16 days will melt away
And I'll be on the plane
