Night Job
Words by Douglas Heyes Jr.

NIGHT JOB

I got a Night Job way Downtown
Working for the Shadows at the Underground
Little White Girl from the Other Side of Town
Midnight Blue until her eyes turn Brown
Crowd of onlookers make a terrible sound
A corner full of Hookers when the Sun goes down
Wanted Posters hangin’ up all over this Town
Watchin’ for a Woman in a Black Satin Gown

She's draggin’ a Red Wagon
Called a Flexible Flyer
Her Music's like a Dragon
Gonna set the Night on Fire
Backpack on her back
Got her formal attire
For when she's flat out on her back
Or she’s Dancin’ on a wire

We set up on the corner
Underneath the neon lights
A crowd of News Reporters
Gotta keep it high and tight
Ragin’ on the Stage below a bright Gaslamp
Breakin’ out of cages on the freeway off ramp
Hot Summer Night in the pale Moonlight
Stayin’ up late, not about to say Goodnight

We got a Night Job in the Heart of Downtown
Workin’ for a livin’ when the Sun goes down
We got the right crowd, gonna break it on down
Wakin’ up the Devil at the Underground
Rockin’ out the World when the Girls all come around
I can't even tell you just what we found
Spider Monkeys swingin’ from a long red vine
Little Honey singin’ through a box of Red Wine

Early Mornin’ papers and the Late Night News
Nameless Entertainers wearin’ Blue Suede Shoes
This is dedicated to the White Girl from the Hood
Man, I gotta tell you, she is really lookin’ good
Rollin’ the red carpet right in front of her feet
Never gonna stop it till we're Dancin’ in the Street
Take Home what you need, but don't Kill and don't Rob
Man, I gotta say I got the coolest Night Job
