Girl at Night

One hand down
resting on a trouserleg
She sorta is along
looking like a ten-bag bit
"The only decent lovers
are the people in the pictureshows"
People in my dreams
People in my dreams
People on my screen
don't turn away.
"(Yeah but) what's a man?"
she stops and lights a cigarette
Something catches her eye
but it's just a blue light of a TV-set
(she says now:)
"Tomorrow's around the corner
yeah, it's gonna be a better day"
She blows the night
She blows the night
She blows the night
away.
When I get home
there's gonna be a letter there
From an old, old flame
saying: "Come and marry me next year!
I want a house in the woods
I wanna be a doctor's wife
I'll be quiet and good
This little, red riding hood
I will never
turn away".
She's a girl at night
just a girl at night
She's a girl at night
just a girl at night.
