That Time Of The Night Lyrics - Marillion

At that time of the night 

When streetlights throw crosses through window frames 

Paranoia roams where the shadows reign 

Oh, at that time of the night 

At that time of the night 

Your senses tangled in some new perfume 

Criticism triggers of a loaded room 

Oh, at that time of the night 

So if you ask me 

How do I feel inside 

I could honestly tell you 

We've been taken on a very long ride 

And if my owners let me have some free time some day 

With all good intention I would probably run away 

Clutching the short straw 

At that time of the night 

When questions rally in an open mind 

Summon all your answers with an ice cubes chime 

At that time of the night 

At that time of the night 

Pretend you're off the hook with the telephone 

Your confidence wounded in a free fire zone 

Oh, at that time of the night 

So if you ask me 

Where do I go from here 

My next destination even isn't really that clear 

So if you join me and get on your knees and prey 

I'll show you salvation 

We'll take the alternative way 

Clutching the short straw 

If I had enough money I'd buy a round for that boy over there 

A companion in my madness in the mirror the one with the silvery hair 

And if some kind soul could please pick up my tab 

And while they're at it if they could pick up my broken heart. 

Warm wet circles
