Night falls and the light fades
And still you won't take off your sunglasses
I know what you're thinking
You think the kids don't care
And you see this as some symbol of your pain
This hungry life won't let you out whole
But you can change a thing or two
Might not leave you with much
But you can change your story
And throw a hand up from the mud
Night falls and the rain comes
And the moon is a stain when you've lost something
And you wait and you wait
For the end or the girl or the song
Or the leader who won't bring you shame
And you wait and you wait
This hungry life won't let you out whole
But you can change a thing or two
Might not leave you with much
But you can change your story
And throw a hand up from the mud
This hungry life won't let you out whole
But you can change a thing or two
Might not leave you with much
Leave a few words behind you
And keep someone up all night
Change the story, change the story
