Brian Brooks - Hold On to the Night
lyrics
It was late in the midsummer heat
On the simmering sidewalk of a New York street
All the midnight movers and the would-be stars
Drinking mad bad moonlight in the voodoo bars

And though they try to slow them down
The hands keep moving round
They're just spoiling for a fight
To hold on to the night

Couldn't wait for the sultry beat
Of a rock and roll sideshow and a poker cheat
All the street light walkers in the nightclub wars
And the lunatic talkers with the doorway whores

And though they try to slow them down
The hands keep moving round
They're just spoiling for a fight
To hold on to the night


Jail bait dressed up to the teeth
And the pickpocket paupers sliding beneath
All the kerbside crawlers of a big city night
And the maniac marauders all high as a kite

And though we try to slow it down
The world keeps spinning round
We're just spoiling for a fight
To hold on to the night
