Long Run

Somebody's gonna hurt someone
Before the night is through
Somebody's gonna come undone.
There's nothin' we can do.
Everybody wants to touch somebody
If it takes all night.
Everybody wants to take a little chance,
Make it come out right.

There's gonna be a heartache tonight,
A heartache tonight, i know.
There's gonna be a heartache tonight, i know.
Lord, i know.

Some people like to stay out late
Some folks can't hold out that long
But nobody wants to go home now.
There's too much goin' on.

This night is gonna last forever.
Last all, last all summer long.
Some time before the sun comes up
The radio is gonna play that song.
There's gonna be a heartache tonight,
A heartache tonight, i know.
There's gonna be a heartache tonight,
A heartache tonight, i know.
Lord i know.

There's gonna be a heartache tonight,
The moon's shinin' bright
So turn out the light, and we'll get it right.
There's gonna be a heartache tonight, a
Heartache tonight i know.
Heartache baby,

Somebody's gonna hurt someone, (somebody)
Before the night is through
Somebody's gonna come undone,
There's nothin' we can do
(everybody) everybody wants to touch somebody
If it takes all night
Everybody wants to take a little chance
To make it come out right

There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, i know
There's gonna be a heartache tonight,
A heartache tonight ,i know
Let's go.
We can beat around the bushes;
We can get down to the bone
We can leave it in the parkin' lot,
But either way, there's gonna be a
Heartache tonight, a heartache tonight i know.
There'll be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight i know.

Stare out the window,
You can't make the time go
You don't even know why you're here
Wait for the weekend to go off the deep end
And make everything disappear
You're lost in a teenage jail
So you and so vicious and so frail
Where something is always for sale
You're lost in a teenage jail.

You're not like your mothers.
You're not like the others
You're not quite like anyone else,

They don't even know you,
Got nothing to show you,
So get something good for yourself
You're lost in a teenage jail
So young and so vicious and so frail
Where something is always for sale.
You're lost in a teenage jail.

out in the shiny night, the rain
Was softly falling
The tracks that ran down the boulevard had
All been washed away

Out of the silver light, the past came softly calling
And i remember the times we spent
Inside the sad cafe

Oh, it seemed like a holy place,
Protected by amazing grace
And we would sing right out loud, the
Things we could not say
We thought we could change this world
With words like "love" and "freedom"
We were part of the lonely crowd
Inside the sad cafe

Oh, expecting to fly,
We would meet on that beautiful shore in the
Sweet by and by

Some of their dreams came true,
Some just passed away
And some of the stayed behind
Inside the sad cafe.

The clouds rolled in and hid that shore
Now that glory train, it don't stop here no more
Now i look at the years gone by,
And wonder at the powers that be.
I don't know why fortune smiles on some
And let's the rest go free

Maybe the time has drawn the faces i recall
But things in this life change very slowly,
If they ever change at all
There's no use in asking why,
It just turned out that way
So meet me at midnight baby
Inside the sad cafe.
Why don't you meet me at midnight baby,
Inside the sad cafe.

Well, he sits up there on his leatherette
Looks through pictures of the ones that he hasn't had yet
When he thinks he wants a closer look,
He gets out his little black telephone book
(he's calling, calling, calling
He's calling, calling, calling
He's calling ,calling, calling
He's calling)

"come sit down here beside me, honey.
Let's have a little heart to heart.
Now look at me and tell me, darlin',
How badly do you want this part?
Are you willing to sacrifice?
And are you willing to be real nice?
All your talent and my good taste,
I'd hate to see it go to waste."

"we gon' get you an apartment, honey.
We gon' get you a car.
(spoken) yeah, we're gonna take care of you, darlin'.
We gon' make you a movie star.
For years i've seen 'em come and go."
He says, "i've had 'em all, 'ya know.
I handled everything in my own way.
I made 'em what they are today."

After 'while nothin' was pretty.
After 'while everything got lost.
Still, his jacuzzi runneth over.
Still he just couldn't get off.
He's just another power junky.
Just another silk scarf monkey.
You'd know it if you saw his stuff.
The man just isn't big enough

Tell us what you're gonna do tonight, mama.
There must be someplace you can go
In the middle of the tall drinks and the drama,
There must be someone you know.

God knows, you're lookin' good enough,
But you're so smooth and the world's so rough.
You might have somethin' to loose.
Oh, no, pretty mama, what you gonna
Do in those shoes?

Got those pretty little straps around your ankles
Got those shiny little chains around your heart.
You go to have your independence
But you don't know just where to start.

Desperation in the singles bars
An' all those jerkoffs in their fancy cars.
You can't believe your reviews.

Oh, no, you can't do that,
Once you started wearin' those shoes

They're lookin' at you, leanin' on you
Tell you anything you want to hear
They give you tablets of love
They're waiting for you
Got to score you
Handy with a shovel and so sincere
Ooh, they got the kid glove

You just want someone to talk to
They just wanna get their hands on you
You get whatever you choose
Oh, no, you can't do that,
Once you started wearin' those shoes.
