Night By Night

It's a beggars life, said the Queen of Spain

But don't tell it to a poor man

'Cause he's got to kill for every thrill

The best he can

Everywhere around me

I see jealousy and mayhem

Because no men have all their peace of mind

To carry them

Well I don't really care

If it's wrong or if it's right

But until my ship comes in

I'll live night by night

When the joker tried to tell me

I could cut it in this rube town

When he tried to hang that sign on me

I said Take it down

When the dawn patrol got to tell you twice

They're gonna do it with a shotgun

Yes, I'm cashing in this ten-cent life

For another one

Well I ain't got the heart

To lose another fight

So until my ship comes in

I'll live night by night

Well I don't really care

If it's wrong or if it's right

But until my ship comes in

I'll live night by night
