Sammy Davis Jr.
Night Song
[JOE]
Summer
Not a bit of breeze
Neon signs are shining
Through the tired trees
Lovers
Walking to and fro
Everyone has someone
And a place to go

Listen!
Hear the cars go past
They don't even see me
Flying by so fast
They are moving
Going who knows where
Only thing I know is
I'm not going there

Where do you go
When you feel that your brain is on fire?
Where do you go when you don't even know
What it is you desire?
Listen!
Laughter everywhere!
Hear it!
Life is in the air!
As the night comes
And the town awakes
Sounds of children calling
And the squeal of brakes
Music!
But a lonely song
When you can't help wondering:
"Where do I belong?"

Where do you turn
When you burn with this feeling of rage?
Who do you fight when you wanna break out
But your skin is your cage?
Uptown
Just another Joe
Downtown
Where you gonna go?

Always looking
For that place to be
Where's that bright tomorrow
For a guy like me?
Damn!
Life is going by
And I stand and wonder:
Who the hell am I?
