Soul Kitchen

Well, the clock says it's time to close now

I guess I'd better go now

I'd really like to stay here all night

The cars crawl past all stuffed with eyes

Street lights share their hollow glow

Your brain seems bruised with numb surprise

Still one place to go



Let me sleep all night

In your soul kitchen

Warm my mind

Near your gentle stove

Turn me out and I'll wander baby

Stumblin' in the neon groves



Well, your fingers weave quick minuets,

Speak in secret alphabets.

I light another cigarette.

Learn to forget



Well, the clock says it's time to close now

I know I'll have to go now

I really wanna stay here

All night
