40-watt bulb fills half the room  And then the other half is filled with gloom  Fontella Bass is on the stereo  I wish someone would come along and rescue me  Please don't hold back  There's nothing missing  There's nothing you lack  Please don't hold back  There's just a few things that you can't forget  And then you stub them out like your cigarette  Shape yourself until you think it's right  And then you're still afraid to go out at night  Ch.  Late at night when the city sleeps  Villains laugh and lovers weep  Eyes sealed shut and we don't let on  That we're counting every second until the dawn  Ch
