Because tonight you are in my hair and eyes
And every street light that our taxi passes shows me you again
And because tonight and all other nights are black, all other hours are cold
and far away, and now, this minute, the stars are very near and bright
Come back, we will have a celebration to end all celebrations
We will invite the undertaker who lives beneath us, and a couple of
boys from the office and some other friends
And Steinberg who is off the wagon and that insane woman who lives
upstairs, and a few reporters if anything should break
