Friday Night On the Run
The moment is finally here
When we have something to share
And I can feel a sudden tension flowing in the air
The evening is dry and long with its arrow
And they are getting ready for the song
The patrol police is walking around with long guns
Looking for the thieves all over the street
The birds are flying across the grey clouds
And the evening is crying out very loud
They are moving around in a unifying motion
And they are flying silently to the west
A long line of them just flew over my head
What on earth is going on ?
Maybe they are going to bury the dead
The traffic is rolling in and the night is very dim
Big trucks, fire trucks, bread vans and police vans
Driving up and down the frantic street
The weather has tightens its belt and
And grey clouds suddenly change to night
The town is just feeling the new year's weight
And many things are out of date
I dig deep to search for something inside
But all I felt was complete emptiness
I tried to reach out for the
Gods but they too are feeling sad
And for that split moment
My body starts feeling hot and I knew
That heaven is watching my back
I looked on the people’s face
And I could see a touch of humility flowing in
But some faces void of expression
No quarreling, no complaining
They are just walking
They seem to be going somewhere
But they are not going anywhere
They are walking straight into their destiny,
They don’t know the next move
And some of them look quite confuse
Oh, I forget it is Friday
And the week is almost done
And the new year is on the run
I was hoping to have some fun
But one year is spilling into another
And there is no direct order
The story has just come alive
And the cars are lining up on Kings Street
They are coming from the East
With eyes positioned on the beast
It is Friday and the night is on the run
Catch it before it slips away from you.
