The only light in the basement Apartment, a blue tv glow through the blinds The flicker and din in the dark of a Saturday night A raven's asleep in the rafters, a stray cat circles a kill From the basement, the tin-can laughter of a late night thrill Tomorrow's asleep on the front step And yesterday dreams in the street But in the basement apartment, A shadowy man, he just stares at the wall He can't sleep And me I'm just part of the Darkness, just trying to get something right On a Saturday night And this all reminds me of something, the song of a long ago time A memory pure and haunting on a Saturday night And I don't have all of the answers, I don't have even a few But two shadows above me were dancing and I thought of you Tomorrow's asleep on the front step And yesterday dreams in the street But in the basement apartment, A shadowy man, he just stares at the wall He can't sleep And me I'm just part of the Darkness, just trying to get something right On a Saturday night The only light in the basement apartment The flicker and fade of time The heavy and hopeful heart of a Saturday night Of a Saturday night
