Lyrics Clear Black Night (2021 Version) - Mike Maimone

Bought my last, last pack of smokes with quarters
Now I can't afford the train
So I'm walkin' to the High Hat Club
Make some change

He's always sittin' at the back
His favorite place to settle
He never looks up once while I'm up checkin' levels
He ain't Mr. Universe, more like Mr. Ashtabula
And yeah he turns me on
But he's straight as a ruler

It's been rainin' 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 movin' 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, I finally had to settle
Has anyone ever told you you look like Burt Reynolds?

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

I been looking 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 rainin' all day
But it's a clear black night
Don't need your blue skies
Just your, your clear black night
Your clear black night
Your clear black night
Your clear black night
