Lyrics
This is the last night of the summer
I can see the darkness coming down on me
As the world is getting dimmer
There's a hazy kind of glimmer above town
And everywhere I look
Somebody came and took away the good stuff
And right outside my door
The drunks are drinking more than they should
They say it's freezing after sunset
I don't know, I got this cold sweat 'round the clock
So many losers on the street
And so much disappointment on the block
The girl with wasted dreams
Has broken down and screams out from her window
And somewhere in the park
A needle makes its mark on the skin
This is the last night of the summer
The last night of the summer of speed
And I can see the darkness coming
I can see the darkness coming after me
Make it pass and set me free
Make this the last night of the summer of speed
There's a man outside his building
And he's staring at the women walking by
And he's worried and he's wet
He doesn't know if she'll be getting home tonight
The headlines talk of rape
And how to stay in shape
I guess I'm needed
But all I want to know
Is what they're gonna show on TV
And so I sip away the after hours
Hoping for a laugh, I must be sick
Those muscles just don't move
They all completely disapprove
They're hard to trick
And then I recognize
A longing pair of eyes
But I was dreaming
I miss you all the time
I wish that you could try to believe
This is the last night of the summer
The last night of the summer of speed
And I can see the darkness coming
I can see the darkness coming after me
Make it pass and set me free
Make this the last night of the summer of speed
Every club in every basement
Has been shut down or replaced
Nobody knows
And all the friends I had before
They don't come by and they don't call
They're gone
I guess I should have made some plans
I guess I'll pay for doing nothing
But if I could go back
I'd follow my old tracks to this spot
And as the morning spreads its gold
Across the rooftops and the cold September sky
I hear the neighbors getting up
The daily business doesn't stop to say goodnight
I hope that I can fall asleep
Hope I can meet you when I wake up
I've been away so long at last
I'm going home to myself
This is the last night of the summer
The last night of the summer of speed
And I can see the darkness coming
I can see the darkness coming after me
Make it pass and set me free
Make this the last night of the summer of speed
Make it pass and set me free
Make this the last night of the summer of speed
