John Hiatt - Overnight Story lyrics
They took enough of my mind To make a calculator Addin' up the figures, they'll find That love's a dumbwaiter Waitin' for the dream to fade Right into you hit parade Maybe I've made that long black list But I was born when we first kissed CHORUS: Not another overnight story No overnight success We've hung around too long for glory Is it too late for happiness? Yesterday is over now And we've come too far to bow Here comes Swifty, they're off To chase another headline But all the news gets soft Before it makes the deadline The morning paper hits my door But I don't read it any more Yes I know what went on last night You made your coffin before daylight CHORUS They're adding inches at our expense To the measure of their capital worth The next big thing is gonna dance and sing Us all off of the face of this earth They call it big time love But I'm not nervous 'Cause all your turtledoves Are out of service And all those arc lights comb the sky For any little birds that fly You're all still jerks, and we're still here Fast asleep at the big premiere CHORUS |
