The nightbirds stumble in

Like broken pendulums

The nightbirds stumble in

Flown from thick to thin

'Neath a cloud of suspicion

You're a lucky man

Say it again

The nightrain's pourin' down

As the nightsky hits the town

The nightbirds stumble in

There are orders to be filled

There are tall ones to be killed

There are songs of praises to be sung

Will they all go south on us?

With the crazies, with our trust?

I trust you'll tell me

If you lose that trust

The nightrain's pourin' down

As the nightsky hits the town

The nightbirds stumble in

You're a lucky man

Say it again

I'm a lucky man

Say it again
