"Monday Night In Germantown" lyrics

There's a dull hum from the telephone lines
It's a dead calm all around
In a half-moon sky
Cobblestones and the old gas lights
It's Monday night in Germantown

The pulsing of a traffic light
Tick-tocking through the night
The window shops have all gone home
Silhouettes bleed into sky
Like an ink pen drawing horizon lines
I'm a ghost
Walking 'round Germantown

Every day goes by
Every night sneaks up behind
Like a London fog
Without a shroud of mystery

But we're Live tonight
And one night only at The Foxhound
If you're bored and lonely
If you're not too far away

And we play all our new songs
Calling out, is there anyone around?
Can you hear the sound?
Of Monday night in Germantown

Mug Night, Ladies Free
No door with a college I.D.
Prime rib, fish-in-chips
Packers, Vikings...tv screens

A shop light in the storage room
With a couch, a mop, a bucket, and broom
A window seat, cold pizza
Rock-and-roll with a vista

Old stone tavern, blood-red door
Cigarettes S.O.S.'d
In a bottle on the stage floor old
By an old rolled up Rolling Stone

There's a payphone you can call
There's a dartboard down the hall
There's a deer head on the wall
No door on the stall

And we played all our new songs
Calling out is there anyone around?
Can you hear the sound?
It's Monday night in Germantown

Yeah, we sang all our new songs
Calling out is there anyone around?
Can you hear the sound?
That's Monday night in Germantown

Yeah we played all our new songs
Calling out is there anyone around?
Can you hear the sound?
It's Monday night in Germantown

I'm with my brothers in arms
And we're rockin' the bars
It's 1 a.m. is there anyone around?
Can you hear the sound?
Monday night in Germantown
Can you hear the sound?
Monday night in Germantown
Can you hear the sound?
It's Monday night and Germantown's asleep
