Bang out the night song  on an old kettle drum  don't ask for no ransom  ain't payin you none  ground to a halt  with suspicion for all  you say "watch me fly"  I suppose that you're gone  but I don't care to look  don't give me the truth  give me shackles  bang out the night song  from deep in my chest  are you listening?  But last night (Oh last night)  late last night (late last night)  last night, you were forgiveness  And last night (Oh last night)  late last night (late last night)  last night you were the end  walked to the dawn  along rnisery's mile  stopped under a streetlight  and burned off my smile  trust was your mirror  and trust was your fool  are you listenin'  and now that I'm gone  give the tears to your friends  I'll take what I'm due  then I'll strangle  bang out the night song  you can beat it to death  you can watch me fly  But last night (Oh last night)  late last night (late last night)  last night, you were forgiveness  And last night (Oh last night)  late last night (late last night)  last night you were the end  raisin' my spirits  my head on the floor  turned around fast  walkin' back to your door  this run of bad luck  stuck like sleep in yer eyes  couldn't see a thing  But last night, late last night  last night, you were forgiveness  oh last night, late last night  last night you were the end  I'm comin' back to ya  no religion to sell  bang out the night song  ain't stuck in this hell  oh last night  late last night  last night you were forgivin
