[00:00.00]That Time of the Night (The Short Straw) (Live From Loreley|2009 Remaster) - Marillion
[02:06.25]At that time of the night
[02:08.93]When streetlights throw crosses
[02:10.55]Through window frames
[02:12.69]Paranoia roams where the shadows reign
[02:16.30]Oh at that time of the night
[02:21.04]At that time of the night
[02:23.71]Your senses tangled in some new perfume
[02:27.62]Criticism triggers of a loaded room
[02:31.12]Oh at that time of the night
[02:35.67]So if you ask me
[02:39.47]How do I feel inside
[02:42.48]I could honestly tell you
[02:45.90]We've been taken on a very long ride
[02:50.01]And if my owners let me have some free time some day
[02:56.84]With all good intention I would probably run away
[03:04.06]Clutching the short straw
[03:18.13]At that time of the night
[03:20.69]When questions rally in an open mind
[03:24.24]Summon all your answers with an ice cubes chime
[03:28.52]At that time of the night
[03:32.19]At that time of the night
[03:34.88]Pretend you're off the hook with the telephone
[03:38.31]Your confidence wounded in a free fire zone
[03:42.45]Oh at that time of the night
[03:46.14]So if you ask me
[03:49.87]Where do I go from here
[03:53.19]My next destination even isn't really that clear
[04:00.27]So if you join me and get on your knees and prey
[04:06.93]I'll show you salvation
[04:10.44]We'll take the alternative way
[04:14.10]Clutching the short straw
[04:29.19]If I had enough money
[04:30.81]I'd buy a round for that boy over there
[04:35.55]A companion in my madness
[04:37.27]In the mirror the one with the silvery hair
[04:42.00]And if some kind soul could please pick up my tab
[04:48.64]And while they're at it
[04:50.44]If they could pick up my broken heart
