AFTER 2
Anybody got a cigarette I can borrow? You don't know where I can get a beer at this hour, do ya? I'm sorry t' bother you, but do you know where there's a party or something? I just thought, you know, it's so nice down by the river. Nah, that's OK. Wasn't anything.

You can find us after 2
When the night is black & blue
We are drunk & we are high
& we all have wild eyes

I see 2 profiles lit up
in a flash the match light glows
Their love so hot in the bushes
& in the purple shadows
I see 5 stories up
A fat man leaning out a window
His son lay down in an alley
his shirt is off, he's shooting up

It's 2 o'clock in the morning , it's a excellent time...
It's a beautiful night out, isn't it?

CHORUS

An allnight pizza place
a neon sign on every face
Looking for love, for a quick one
it's in our eyes - the whole human race
A Mercedez-Benz like a boombox
throbbing through the night
Bulletproof glass on the windshield
the passenger is out of sight

It's 2 o'clock in the morning, it's a excellent time...
You look just like someone I know.

CHORUS

A 24 hour store a punk kid
hanging out to dry
A Muscleboy reads a dirty magazine
pulls his shirt up, an old man cries
A redhot girl walking down the street
Got no money for a cab
Staggers like a drunken sailor
Holds her cigarette like a man

It's 2 o'clock in the morning,
It's a excellent time...
