Nighttime Collectors

We were rockin', we were rockin'

We were rockin', we were rockin'

We were rockin', we were rockin'

rockin', rockin', rockin'



I was drunk when I heard about her healing

When the phone rang I fell out of bed

When I got the news it blew out a fuse in my head

I was out there all alone at three in the morning

At an east European hotel

We were rockin' the blues

Blowing out the tubes as we yelled



Oh yeah, oh yeah

The nighttime collectors were feeling no pain

Oh yeah, oh yeah

How could I know how soon this all would change?

Oh yeah



The first thing I said is "I don't believe it"

Then ear gripped my heart and held on

I'd rather just grieve than start to believe and be wrong

"Well, all I can tell you is what they told me"

My wife said and said it once more

Her heart looks alright

They've seen nothing like it before



Oh yeah, oh yeah

The nighttime collectors were feeling no pain

Oh yeah, oh yeah

How could I know how soon this all would change?

Oh yeah
