Bang out the night song on an old kettle drum Don't ask for no ransom, an't payin you none Ground to a halt with suspicion for all You said, "Watch me fly" I suppose that you're gone but I don't care to look Don't give me truth, give me shackles Bang out the night song from deep in my chest Are you listening? But last night (oh, last night) Late last night (late last night) Last night, you were forgiveness And last night (well, last night) Late last night (late last night) Last night you were the end ♪ Walked to the dawn along misery's mile Stopped under a streetlight and burned off my smile Trust was your mirror and trust was your fool Are you listenin'? And now that I'm gone, give the tears to your friends I'll take what I'm due, then I'll strangle Bang out the night song, you can beat it to death You can watch me fly But last night (oh, last night) Late last night (late last night) Last night you were forgiveness And last night (oh, last night) Late last night (late last night) Last night you were the end ♪ Raisin' my spirits (my head on the floor) Well, I turned around fast (walkin' back to your door) This run of bad luck stuck like sleep in your eyes Couldn't see a thing But last night, late last night Last night, you were forgiveness And last night, late last night Last night you were the end I'm comin' back to you, no religion to sell Bang out the night song, ain't stuck in this hell Oh, last night, late last night Last night you were forgiven
