Shifts Songtext
von Over the Wall

We only have tonight
Sing along with all that′s gone wrong
Because your knives are getting sharp
And your lungs are getting black
And there'll be no going back
By the time you get that far
I′ll be gone while you're still young
Before your hands go dry and numb
From all the work they've never done
Before you′re tired of coming home
And finding all your kids in love
So tell your man to watch your coat
He′ll be on his fucking own this time
Me and you are sticking close
And you won't be going home tonight
So go ahead turn off the light
You said you want to change your life And we only have tonight
So every time you see his ghost
You′ll be thinking of your own short time
How it's all been going slow
How you never should have drove that night
This is not a shift of time
This is a shift of what is right
(So go ahead turn off the light
You said you want to change your life)
And we only have tonight
So tell your man to watch your coat
He′ll be on his fucking own this time
Me and you are sticking close
And you won't be going home tonight
Tonight
Tonight
