lyrics

Night Walking

you can make heaven or hell
of a room at Terminal Hotel
people got stories to sell
pretty soon you just might like the smell
heroes, demigods of Hades
all the junkies and the nighttime ladies
they’re night hawking, big talking, getting something happening

if you're blue and lonely, that's ok
the nighttime don't mind anyway
all the headaches of the day
drain away as I walk downtown la
a thousand silent meditations
reverberate in the greyhound station
I’m night walking, not stopping, I’m seeing it all happening

I glide through the alleys, stare up at the lights
I break into something deeper than night
wander like I’m hungry, I walk like I’m high
until I reach that city, the city inside
yeah some of us out here might be up to no good
we call it usual business in the neighborhood
and the city is talking, I’m night walking, night walking

you can make heaven or hell
of the stoop at terminal hotel
smiles ring out like cracked bells
surprising stories human faces tell, well
light change yellow, red, green
shedding halos it all looks like some dream
I’m night walking, soul talking, I’m feeling it all happening

just go out in the evening and into the streets
all the sounds of the traffic feel like music to me
deeper into something as each footstep falls
the city is a grand lady, she looks so good in the dark
men stand under streetlights at San Pedro and Sixth
they could be figures in a painting, all this beauty we miss
and the city keeps talking, I’m night walking, night walking
