You used to stand on the tables

You used to shoot out the lights

You used to stop trucks on i-19

In your blue leopard tights

You got the vote of your high school

Most likely to exceed

But not likely to ever get enough

Enough of what you need



Enough of the night

Enough of the night



And now the carnival lights come down

The sounds of laughter receed

You sit and drink in this cardboard town

The fast lane gone to seed

You used to laugh about the damage done

But there was no way to know

How little distance you had actually come

And how far you'd have to go



It's tough to do baby

It's tough to make it

When the heart is naked

It's tough for you baby

It's tough for me too

Without all this pain to see through



Now

I want to see you smile

You know how

It's just been awhile

Don't allow

Another night to close on your empty cup

You've had enough of those



Enough of the night

Enough of the night



You used to count on the miracles

The old shot in the dark

You used to wait for the setting sun

To help you hit your mark

You used to stand on the tables

You used to shoot out the lights

You dressed right out of the fables

Like the arabian nights



But you were never the princess

More like the queen of the thieves

And my heart was never more than one of the many

A queen receives



It's tough to do baby

It's tough to make it

When the heart is naked

It's tough for you baby it's tough for me too

Without this disdain to see through



Now

I want to see you smile

You know how

It's just been awhile

Don't allow

Another heart to pass beyond your reach

Say "baby not so fast"



You've had enough of the night

To fill the street with tears

You've had enough of those empty hours

To last a thousand years



Enough of the night

Enough of the tears
