Middle of the Night
Night's Revelry: Finding Light Amidst Barroom Tales
Lyrics
Well, there's a woman in the corner sittin' all alone
Observing a woman sitting alone in the corner.
The barkeep's talkin' on the bar payphone
The bartender is using the bar payphone.
There's a couple on the dance floor, trippin' on the line
A couple on the dance floor experiencing difficulties.
Well, tell me why I can't find the door
Expressing confusion or disorientation about finding an exit.
But in the middle of the night gonna be alright
Positive outlook for the night despite the current situation.
The last call still ain't near
The end of the night is not imminent; there is time.
But in the middle of the night gonna see the light
Optimism about gaining clarity as the night progresses.
Would wanna be any place but here
Expressing a desire to be anywhere else but the current place.
Blue ball betty and chainsaw bill
Introducing characters named Blue Ball Betty and Chainsaw Bill.
A June bug crawlin' on the window sill
Describing a June bug on a window sill as a detail.
Playboy pictures on the bathroom wall
Mentioning Playboy pictures on the bathroom wall.
Can you tell me why I can't make sense of it all?
Expressing confusion about the nonsensical aspects of life.
In the middle of the night gonna be alright
Reiteration of a positive outlook in the middle of the night.
The last call still ain't near
Reassurance that the night is not ending soon.
But in the middle of the night gonna see the light
Expectation of gaining insight or understanding as the night progresses.
Would wanna be any place but here
Desire to be somewhere else due to current circumstances.
I fell in love about fifteen times
Reflecting on multiple instances of falling in love.
Got a car full of dents, face full of lines
Physical signs of wear and tear, possibly from experiences in life.
Number sixteen just walked in
A new romantic interest entering the scene.
Better sit up straight, my momma'd be proud
Feeling the need to present oneself well in front of the new interest.
In the middle of the night gonna be alright
Positive affirmation for the night.
The last call still ain't near
Reiteration that the last call is not imminent.
But in the middle of the night gonna see the light
Anticipation of gaining clarity or insight later in the night.
Would wanna be any place but here
Expressing a desire to be somewhere else due to current circumstances.
