He takes another drink of what who knows
No time to think
He`ll wake up here tomorrow
Always alone
The letter next to him
Begins `I miss you Evelyn`
Then nothing more is written
This is no TV show
This is real and he knows
And the shadows from the window
Are casting shapes just like a puppet show
Once in the night
Once in the night oh oh...
Once in the night
Once in the night oh oh oh oh...
Decisions he has made
The failures of a new decade
Inform his every movement
He has visions of atonement
The television says
Beware we`re in our final days
And a blonde canary gameshow
Fills up the screen
Oh Lord she must be sixteen!
And the shadows from the window
Are casting shapes just like a puppet show
Once in the night
Once in the night oh oh...
Once in the night
Once in the night oh oh oh oh...
And believing he could
He painfully stood
Holding the frame
And launched his aging body into the rain
She couldn`t take the facts
She just could not keep up the act
She goes about her business
She is never alone
And this is no TV show
And the shadows from the window
Still casting shapes just like a puppet show
Once in the night
Once in the night oh oh...
Once in the night
Once in the night oh oh oh oh..
Once in the night
Once in the night oh oh...
Once in the night
Once in the night oh oh oh oh...
