blue neon clock fingers sneaking past the stars[00:00:13]

extinguish the last fuse of day[00:00:20]

through black rain-wet streets rush bleary-eyed cars[00:00:26]

stuffed with revellers drunk and blase[00:00:33]

in soho stained waiters bang dustbins around[00:00:40]

commissionaires yawn into tweed[00:00:46]

as empty and echo hose yesterday dawn[00:00:53]

the night people slide inbetween[00:01:00]

sallow dudes with spotlight eyes[00:01:20]

pour laughter sauce on ice[00:01:26]

velvet dolls with brandied smiles[00:01:32]

lean close with mouths of dice[00:01:38]

the tunnel band plays studded drums[00:01:45]

and spits electric spears[00:01:48]

as the dancers kick like marionettes[00:01:50]

through the smokescreen atmospheres[00:01:53]

dance on pale harlequins of night[00:01:56]

lest you scratch your gilded fears[00:02:02]

the paint peeling tea stall by charing cross bridge[00:02:28]

attracts lonely moths to its lamps[00:02:34]

in corners of archways on a benches oak ridge[00:02:41]

lie newspapered wine-softened tramps[00:02:48]

pushed on by policemen and queueing for soup[00:02:54]

evading the world's outstretched glove[00:03:00]

but one pain they share with the jewelled ghost troupe[00:03:07]

both searching for some kind of love[00:03:13]

gargoyles chewing on dead cigars[00:03:33]

stack chips in crystal halls[00:03:38]

sequinned starlets scent their breasts[00:03:45]

till the single finger calls[00:03:51]

rhinestoned strippers strut and peel[00:03:57]

for the cochineal stockade[00:04:00]

the gangster roars, his crew applauds[00:04:03]

at the punter's fun parade[00:04:06]

all worshiping the jaws of night[00:04:08]

where the piper is never paid[00:04:13]

champagned freaks in denim shirts[00:04:21]

snort energy in spoons[00:04:28]

laughing girls ask zodiac signs[00:04:34]

but their eyes sing lonely tunes[00:04:39]

it's four o'clock the wine is flat[00:04:46]

the coffee has long gone cold[00:04:49]

the rustlers pay their last respects[00:04:52]

then drive away blindfold...[00:04:55]

dead the hollow dreams of night[00:04:58]

turn grey dissolve... dissolve...[00:05:05]

leaves dervish dance on the coiled wind of dawn[00:05:29]

whisper... the curtain lifts... day[00:05:36]

news vans and lorries with oranges roar[00:05:42]

from fleet street to ealing broadway[00:05:49]

the first bus with charladies stops in the strand[00:05:55]

milk vans and post vans cruise by[00:06:02]

at euston commuters, shop girls and striped suiters[00:06:07]

are jostling and milling, cars hooting, brakes shrilling...[00:06:14]
