from dusk till dawn(not about vampires!)

by antwan fields - Aries

now it ends
the night: what fever?
what is the reciever? 
12:00 has rolled around 
the straights have gone, now we are alone
we have the night to ourselves, we have to be calm
before officer(?) gets here and we have to vacate
hey, how ya doin? come on in
boys town after dark, and we're just getting started
12:30 hits and the gangs all here
lets ignore the gangsta staring at jimmy's rear
since we can't get drunk, lets celebrate
being alive long enough to go out on a date
you and arben, and jon's out of it
there is no will, and there is no way
in hell that jon is driving anywhere
1:00am, and the crowd goes crazy 
roscoe's is busy, and circut just the same 
just another summer saturday night,and its just lazy
long may we wave; we walk and we run
the hours pass, one by every one
under doug's control the streets get quieter
until around three its time to go home
find someone to go home WITH, that's the main idea
by 3:30 the halsted street has cleared
lost in thought, for i waited a week
im not up here every day, but i know the place
and then around four more people hit the road and its my turn to go too
i have hung around from 12 till 5
as i walk away i turn and look back
knowing i can't get enough of this place
maybe one day ill even live up here
and then i won't have to go home
at dawn
i can stay from dusk till dawn till dusk till dawn
sleep, live and eat here
for the rest of my life!
