Edward Hopper Songtext
von Jesse Malin

These are the symphony chords
These are the symphony times
This is disposable situations

Oh somewhere in the night
Oh somewhere in the night

On a tip from Jack downtown
All the kids they hang around
Like an Edward Hopper painting
Shattered dreams and a cymbal crash
Product of the working class
With all the usual disclaimers

Oh somewhere in the night
Oh somewhere in the night
Keep on burning out that light
Oh somewhere in the night


Find a place where time will stop
Playing Frankie Teardrop
When all your friends have all grown up
Between the gossip and the gospel
At the hotel she was high
You don′t know how desperate I've become

Oh somewhere in the night
Oh somewhere in the night
Keep on burning out that light
Oh somewhere in the night

You can′t blame me no more
You can't blame me no more
You don't know where I′ve been
You can′t blame me no more

Oh come on, slow it down
This is one of the worst of all situations
This is one of those characters
So many times, so many different personalities

I know your father never told you
And your mother never held you
How they let you stay away so long


Oh somewhere in the night
Oh somewhere in the night
Keep on burning out that light
Oh somewhere in the night
Lives you out with all your might
Oh somewhere in the night

Hey come on
See you in the summer
Airborne Fiesta
Oh come on down Eastern Parkway
We got a latte for you
Get out the bandstand
Get everybody out onto the street tonight
