(Looking For) The Heart of Saturday Night - Tom Waits

In the heart of the night In the cool southern rain There's a full moon in sight Shining down on the Pontchartrain And the river she rises Just like she used to do She's so full of surprises She reminds me of you In the heart of the night In the heart of the night In the heart of the night Oh, whoa, down in New Orleans There's a night bird singing Right on through till the dawn And the streets are still ringing With people carrying on It's been so long waiting Just to be here again Anticipating All the time I could spend In the heart of the night In the heart of the night In the heart of the night And I trust in your love Never falling down I trust in your love Just like I do in this town Whoa, never falling down Whoa, never falling down In the heart of the night In the cool fallin' rain There's a full moon in sight Shining down on the Pontchartrain And the river she rises Just like she used to do She's so full of surprises Oh, momma, she reminds me of you Right here, in the heart of the night In the heart of the night In the heart of the night, oh, oh Down in New Orleans And I'm so glad to be back in New Orleans Please don't wake me, don't shake me If it's only, if it's only just a dream 'Cause it's the only place I can face that makes me feel so right Below that Dixie moon and loving you In the heart of the night

Saturday night Guess you've heard this song before In my city of lights Til the early dawn Saturday night Moving on the floor When you're moving it right Guess you do it some more And I know, I know, I know I can't stay home But tonight this music might just save my soul And I know, I know, I know I know I can't stay home Now I've got nowhere I've got nowhere but here to go Open your eyes Don't even look at the door 'Cause I'm standing right here Give me someone to love And I know, I know, I know I can't stay home But tonight this music might just save my soul And I know, I know, I know I know I can't stay home Now I've got nowhere I've got nowhere but here to go Saturday night Moving on the floor When you're moving it right Guess you do it some more And I know, I know, I know I can't stay home But tonight this music might just save my soul And I know, I know, I know I know I can't stay home Now I've got nowhere I've got nowhere but here to go

Dot King was whittled from the bone of Cain With a little drop of poison in the red, red blood She need a way to turn around the bend She said, "I want to walk away and start over again" There are things I've done I can't erase I want to look in the mirror see another face I said, "never", but I'm doing it again I wanna walk away, start over again No more rain, no more roses I'm on my way, shake my thirst in a cool, cool pond There's a winner in every place There's a heart that's beating in every page The beginning of it starts at the end When it's time to walk away and start over again Weather's murder at a hundred and three William Ray shot Corabell Lee A yellow dog knows when he has sinned You wanna walk away and start over again No more rain, no more roses I'm on my way, shaking my thirst in a cool, cool pond Cooper told Maui the whole block's gone They're dying for jewellery, money and clothes I always get out of the trouble I'm in I want to walk away, start over again I left my bible by the side of the road Carve my initials in an old dead tree I'm going away but I'm going to be back when It's time to walk away and start over again It's time to walk away and You gotta walk away, gotta walk away I just wanna walk away yeah, wanna walk away and start over again I wanna walk away, wanna walk away, wanna walk away, wanna walk away, I wanna walk away...
