fly tonight

[intro]

[instrumental]

[verse]
I am the gas station attendant
and always take the midnight shift
It's not too bad on summer nights
but winters feel like murder

[verse]
So few cars are going by
Even fewer will pull in
The men will stop and talk
They get out of their trucks
I always clean their windows
and they slip me a few bucks

[verse]
Sometimes a rowdy bunch of kids
Pull in drunk out of their skins
I would try to talk them down
Get them a ride back home to town
But it always was no use
They looked like they were lost
And had nothing left to lose

[verse]
Even worse a lonely drunk
They never would shut up
They could not find their card
And life always had been hard
At this time of the night
Most were angry, maybe scared
Some of them wanted to fight

[instrumental]

[verse]
But what always broke my heart
Was a woman driving alone
Looking broken and exhausted
Some not wanting to get home

I could tell that they were scared
They rolled their window down an inch
I would try avoid their eyes
And never say a word
I never knew what they might think
These days the risk is just too big
and being human is extinct

[instrumental]

[verse]
But what always broke my heart
Was a woman driving alone
Looking broken and exhausted
Some not wanting to get home
I could tell that they were scared
They rolled their window down an inch
I would try avoid their eyes
And never say a word
I never knew what they might think
These days the risk is just too big
and being human is extinct

being human is extinct

being human is extinct

[instrumental]
