The offices are emptying

Their pale faced wards into the street

Flickering their strip light eyes

Shivering they readjust their lives

From the air conditioned heat

The humdrum and mundane

Is nearly driving them insane

You get hooked so quick to anything

Even your chains you're crouching in your corner

'Til they open up your cage

When the night comes

It'll help you disappear

When the night comes

Forget about the day that brought you here

Frankie takes the train and makes it home

In time to catch the evening news

Opening a can of beans he learns the world

Has turned without much help from him

Hey Frank why not get drunk tonight

Hey Frank hey I think it'll be alright

You'll be too far gone to notice

When the neighbors start complaining

They're used to it by now every day's the same

When the night comes

It'll help you disappear

When the night comes

Forget about the day that brought you here

When the night comes

He might get on the phone

And she's a stuck up b***h

But she lives on her own

And he heard her talking dirty

To the girls the other day

And she knew that he had heard her

And she looked as if to say

And then later up in marketing

While going through the files

She bent a little too far down

Then turned around and smiled

He got her number

He got the phone

He dialed the number

He heard the tone

He said Tonight's the night

That I've been waiting for

Oh I know you've seen me

Worship you from afar

And I might tell you that I love you

And I will but just for

Tonight one night's alright

Tonight just one night just one night

Just one night

In his three piece cunning camouflage

Nobody can guess what Frankie's thinking

Last night she said

I don't know if I'm drowning

Maybe it's because I'm sinking

He said

It'll be okay I'll get outta here one day

And she said Frankie

You're no different from any of the rest

They've nailed you to that table

And chained you to your desk

When the night comes

I'll help you disappear

When the night comes

Forget it forget it forget it forget it

Forget it forget it forget it forget it

Forget it forget it forget it

Forget about the day that brought you here
