Crew Nights

Tear it down in double quick time

To get the eighth truck shifted 'bout midnight

And here am I with a drumstick

While young girls set to rendezvous and be recognized again

Tomorrow is an off day

There's a suite down at the hotel

Reserved for making merry with connecting doors

The lighting man's already improvised a bar

And printed invitations to the ball

T shirts proudly

Crew nights no flashlights or folding knives

Best boots and road suits and nine lives

Some angel from the midwest is regretting being

Undressed with no suntan

His polaroid is snapping

The head carpenter is rapping on

The gates of dawn

Sitting lonely with a warm beer

The girl with dental braces wishes that she hadn't gone

Wives

Minor flaw in Ian's diction

It's really tough to sing clearly

Crew nights no flashlights or folding knives

Best boots and road suits and nine lives
