John Hiatt - Overnight Story Lyrics
They took enough of my mindTo make a calculatorAddin up the figures, theyll findThat loves a dumbwaiterWaitin for the dream to fadeRight into you hit paradeMaybe Ive made that long black listBut I was born when we first kissedChorus:Not another overnight storyNo overnight successWeve hung around too long for gloryIs it too late for happiness?Yesterday is over nowAnd weve come too far to bowHere comes swifty, theyre offTo chase another headlineBut all the news gets softBefore it makes the deadlineThe morning paper hits my doorBut I dont read it any moreYes I know what went on last nightYou made your coffin before daylightChorusTheyre adding inches at our expenseTo the measure of their capital worthThe next big thing is gonna dance and singUs all off of the face of this earthThey call it big time loveBut Im not nervouscause all your turtledovesAre out of serviceAnd all those arc lights comb the skyFor any little birds that flyYoure all still jerks, and were still hereFast asleep at the big premiereChorus
