Lyrics Clear Black Night - Mike Maimone

Bought my last-last pack of smokes with quarters
Now I can't afford the train
So I'm walking to the High Hat Club to make some change
He always sits at the back, his favorite place to settle
He never looks up once while I'm up checking levels
He ain't Mr. Universe, more like Mr. Ashtabula
And yeah it turns me on, but he's straight as a ruler

It's been raining all day
But it's a clear black night
Don't need your blue skies
Just your clear black night
Your clear black night

A look of recognition and it's back to his magazine
It's all I wanted now back to my fantasy
But now I'm moving closer ah he smells of mesquite
He's a real man's man but not the kind that would be into me
Of all the words I had well I finally had to settle
Has anyone ever told you you look like Burt Reynolds

It's been raining all day
But it's a clear black night
Don't need your blue skies
Just your clear black night
Your clear black night

I've been lookin' all around but I ain't seen a thing
That'll take him off my mind and I just can't tell him
I been sniffin' all around but I ain't smelt a thing
That'll take him off my mind no I can still smell him

It's been raining all day
But it's a clear black night
Don't need your blue skies
Just your clear black night
Your clear black night
Your clear black night
Your clear black night
