After Hours (live version 1)

[Intro]

[Reed]

This is a song that uh... I originally had figured on featuring myself doing it with a, you know, spotlight and a gold lamé dress but then I figured "well, you know, I don't- I don’t know if they're ready to accept that..." so we- we got ol' Maureen out and we  figured "They’ll believe her where they wouldn't believe me" ... even though I always tell the truth...

[Tucker]

This'll be our last song for this set... it's called "After Hours"

....Ready?

[Verse One]

If you close the door, the night could last forever

Leave the sunshine out and say hello to never

All the people are dancing and they're having such fun

I wish it could happen to me

[Chorus]

But if you close the door

I'd never have to see the day again

[Verse Two]

If you close the door, the night could last forever

Leave the wineglass out and drink a toast to never

Oh, someday I know someone will look into my eyes

And say hello -- you're my very special one --

[Chorus]

But if you close the door

I'd never have to see the day again

[Bridge]

Dark party bars, shiny Cadillac cars

And the people on subways and trains

Looking gray in the rain as they stand disarrayed

Oh, but people look well in the dark

[Verse Three]

And If you close the door, the night could last forever

Leave the sunshine out and say hello to never

All the people are dancing and they’re having such fun

I wish it could happen to me...

[Outro]

Cause if you close the door

I’d never have to see the day again

I'd never have to see the day again

I’d never have to see the day again
