17 when-night-falls 1 2008-04-08 00:00:00 When Night Falls  

Written by Ryan Walsh, © 2008 Reverse The Tape Decks (ASCAP)

outside nature beats the tar out of nature
an intelligent disease inside a healthy plant
I heard you were one of those homewrecking truckers, well ain't ya?
“18 wheels of terror”: the driver's union chant
turn it up on the vamp

when night falls
who picks it up?
who picks it up?
who picks it up?

stitched on the inside of his jacket is a note for the doctor:
“send my remains to a stranger picked out of a hat”
he's adept at piano but he never claimed to have rocked her
then the band took a break and went to get high in the back
but it's enough if we ask

when night falls
who picks it up?
who picks it up?
who picks it up?

a hand comes down and turns the airplane around
an alarm clock sounds and shakes the unconscious down
and then the playground hounds sniff out every drug in town
on a Friday night
in the middle of the month
in the preacher's house
at the mayor's house
in the policeman's car
in the teacher's bag
in the doctor's lab
it's enough if we ask

when night falls
who picks it up?
who picks it up?
who picks it up?
