That Time Of The Night (The Short Straw) (Live In Warsaw, 15th June1994) - Marillion

Written by：Derek Dick/Ian Mosley/Mark Kelly/Peter Trewavas/Steve Rothery

It was heavy rain

Testing to the fountain she watered

Blossom your kitten soul

I'll throw to the vision

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 cube chime

Oh 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 pray

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

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

Warm wet circles

Warm wet circles

Warm wet circles
