When Night Comes To Town

Roll up the sidewalks It’s the five o’clock hour Shutter the doors Turn off the power Roll up the sidewalks The night is upon us Darkness is coming Lock up the fortress By day things are hopping The stores are all open But then something happens And everything closes The sun still gives light But doors start to close The lights are turned off And everyone goes home Roll up the sidewalks It’s the five o’clock hour Shutter the doors Turn off the power Roll up the sidewalks The night is upon us Darkness is coming Lock up the fortress What fear causes this What happens at night Why roll up the sidewalks And turn off the lights What causes the dark The dark empty streets That were busy by day By night only sleep Roll up the sidewalks It’s the five o’clock hour Shutter the doors Turn off the power Roll up the sidewalks The night is upon us Darkness is coming Lock up the fortress Do I want to know What happens after 5 When everything closes Until the next sunrise Perhaps it is better To not know the cause Of why everything stops When night comes to call Roll up the sidewalks It’s the five o’clock hour Shutter the doors Turn off the power Roll up the sidewalks The night is upon us Darkness is coming Lock up the fortress
