Текст песни The Rest of the Night - Mike Stocksdale

Seventeen days til the fourth of July
And I'm riding the concrete and wind
In between trips to the cafe I slip through my
Daydream mazes again
There is firewood, coal and old newspaper
Locked tight and ready to burn
The spark's a mystery but I know it's history
And darlin it always returns

We gon' be up for the rest of the night
We gon be out til the morning is light
Ain't gonna stop til it feels all right
We gon be up for the rest of the night

Madison waits for me down by the river
Laid out in the afternoon sun
She's a beautiful stain on a desolate plain
Where long ago water would run
We careen through the ditches and over the cracks
As we hunt through the shadows and heat
She suddenly swoons and communes with the daisies
Fighting up through the gaps in the street

We gon' be up for the rest of the night
We gon be out til the morning is light
Ain't gonna stop til it feels all right
We gon be up for the rest of the night

Woah oh oh oh oh
We gonna fly so high that we can't come
Down down down
Take us miles away from the ground

Madison drove from Chicago to New York
In the summer of twenty ought three
She stared at hole in the the ground there for hours
Couldn't believe what she'd seen
She cried that night from a motel window looking out over bowery bay
In the morning awoke and shouted life is a joke
But I won't let it stand in my way

We gon' be up for the rest of the night
We gon be out til the morning is light
Ain't gonna stop til it feels all right
We gon be up for the rest of the night

There's a world outside whether we like it or not
And beyond that another one more
Beyond that an infinite plane of existence
Makes us wonder what we are here for
And who knows maybe nothing buildings crumble
Lives are shattered some will say that's beyond our control
But when life wakes us and breaks us so much
We fix it until we are whole, so

We gon' be up for the rest of the night
We gon be out til the morning is light
Ain't gonna stop til it feels all right
We gon be up for the rest of the night

Woah oh oh oh oh
We gonna fly so high that we can't come
Down down down
Take us miles away from the ground
Oh oh oh oh
