We Know the Night

Best things in life don't come for free

Best things in life always come unexpectedly

Well, we watch the clock and it comes as no surprise

Till the day is late and we let out a sigh

'Cause we know the night could fall at any time

With scissors and a comb I cut my lawn

And there's no one in the world I'm counting on

There's a war ragin' outside - I hope my grass stays green

Till the day is late and we let out a scream

'Cause we know the night could fall down on its knees

We don't know the prime lending rate

And we don't know the pain of a broken day

We don't know what's wrong or what's right

We know the night...we know the night

You can bust your back from now till the sun goes west

Best things always come when your mind's at rest

In the afternoon, my mind ain't sleepy, it's preoccupied

Till the day is late and we let out a sigh

'Cause we know the night could fall at any time

Yeah, we know the night could fall at any time

We know the night...we know the night
