《Why Can’t It Be?》歌词

[00:02:29] The offices are emptying their pale-faced wards into the street,

[00:02:29] Flickering their strip-light eyes, shivering they readjust their lives

[00:02:29] From the air-conditioned heat.

[00:02:29] The humdrum and mundane

[00:02:29] Is nearly driving them insane.

[00:02:29] But you get hooked so quick to anything

[00:02:29] Even your chains,

[00:02:29] You're crouching in your corner 'til they open up your cage.

[00:02:29] Chorus: And when the night comes

[00:02:29] It'll help you disappear

[00:02:29] And when the night comes

[00:02:29] Forget about the day that brought you here.

[00:02:29] Frankie takes the train and makes it home in time to catch the evening news,

[00:02:29] Opening a can of beans he learns the world has turned without much help from him.

[00:02:29] Hey Frank, why not get drunk tonight?

[00:02:29] Hey Frank,

[00:02:29] I think it'll be alright,

[00:02:29] You'll be too far gone to notice when the neighbors start complaining,

[00:02:29] But they're used to it by now, every day's the same. (repeat chorus)

[00:02:29] And when the night comes,

[00:02:29] He might get on the phone,

[00:02:29] She's a stuck-up *****,

[00:02:29] But she lives on her own,

[00:02:29] And he heard her talking dirty to the girls the other day,

[00:02:29] And she knew that he had heard her and she looked "as if to say"

[00:02:29] And then later up in marketing while going through the files,

[00:02:29] She bent a little too far down, then turned around and smiled.

[00:02:29] He got her number,

[00:02:29] He got the phone,

[00:02:29] He dialed the number,

[00:02:29] He heard the tone.

[00:02:29] He said "Tonight's the night that I've been waiting for, Oh I know you've seen me worship you from afar, And I might tell you that I love you and I will but just for Tonight, one night, alright tonight."

[00:02:29] In his three piece cunning camouflage nobody can guess what

[00:02:29] Frankie's thinking,

[00:02:29] Last night she said "I don't know if I'm drowning Maybey it's because I'm sinking."

[00:02:29] He said "It'll be okay I'll get outta here one day"

[00:02:29] And she said "Frankie, you're no different from any of the rest, They've nailed you to that table and chained you to your desk."

[00:02:29] But when the night comes.... (repeat chorus)
