The sun makes its exit from the city sky
Starscraper buildings start to come to life
The hour of rush is over the night settles in
I hear my footsteps down this empty street
I feel the rhythm of my own heart beat
From the darkness a saxophone comes crying
I'm a nameless stranger in a smoky bar
Faceless shadows wonder who you are
And out there the midnight trains are rolling
The neon smiles from above the door
Ladies of the night dance on a sticky floor
The jukebox in the corner plays a song I hate
I'm not thinking about the things you said
And I won't cry about our empty bed
When I heard the door slam my heart didn't break
I'm a nameless stranger in a smoky bar
A faceless shadow to hide the scares
And that midnight train, where the hell's it going?
Hello honey are you glad I called?
You know this being single ain't too bad at all
But if you'd like to try again
I guess I could think it over
Really babe I'm just doing fine
But please tell the kids that there dad says "hi"
And maybe Sunday we could take them to the park
The bloodshot sun cuts into the night
Car horns blowin', the city comes to life
Say, I only had a few, I guess I'm just a little tired
I grab my jacket and I head up town
That same old feeling starts to creep around
This time though the neon lights are laughing
I'm a nameless stranger in a smoky bar
A faceless shadow wondering where you are
And out there the morning trains are rolling
Yeah there rolling, where are they going, where am I going?
