Paroles: John Hiatt. Slug Line / Two Bit Monsters. Long Night Long Night Long Night.

3 on a fever, down in the dumps

the 1st one hollers, the 2nd one jumps

the 3rd writes a letter to his family

says I'd kill everyone if it was up to me



Early in the bathroom, looking for a drain

passing at the misery, just to ease the pain

Scared at the turbid, looking for a light

anything at all to get through the long night



long night, long night

well everybody's got the fever and relief is not in sight

long night, long night

lord the darkest hours, please relieve this appetite



up against the window and up against the wall

and up against religion and up against it all

no place to run to and no place to hide

you know the night will fall and you will crawl inside



well I get up in the morning, it's the same old news

Somebody's been wearing someone else's shoes.

I cripple to his crutches, I'm off to the light

Well one and all, we run from the long night.



long night, long night

Well everybody's got the fever and relief is not in sight

long night, long night

lord the darkest hours, please relieve this appetite



I don't wanna do that jive

too late... it's too late



3 on a fever, down in the dumps

the 1st one hollers, the 2nd one jumps

the 3rd writes a letter to his family

I said I'd kill everyone if it was up to me



long night, long night

Well everybody's got the fever and relief is not in sight

long night, long night

lord the darkest hours, please relieve this appetite
