lyrics

Haven’t been to bed since 1981
Only god knows how I can go on
Burning the candle at both ends with kerosine
In the morning well you know where I’ve been

Chorus- Hong kong café

Streets are deserted at these odd hours
Haven’t bathed in 3 days and I ain’t had a shower
Lamplight still burning as I make my way down
Stepping over rubbies en route to Chinatown

Chorus

Dilated pupils let the cold breeze blow in
My numbed grey cells can’t remember where I’ve been
Sooner or later gonna have to come down
Walk through the door way and my feet just reach the ground

Chorus x 2
