The Replacements - We Know the Night lyrics

Best things in life don't come for free Best things in life always come unexpectedly Well, we watch the clock and it comes as no surprise Till the day is late and we let out a sigh 'Cause we know the night could fall at any time With scissors and a comb I cut my lawn And there's no one in the world I'm counting on There's a war ragin' outside - I hope my gra** stays green Till the day is late and we let out a scream 'Cause we know the night could fall down on its knees We don't know the prime lending ray And we don't know the pain of a broken day We don't know what's wrong or what's right We know the night...we know the night You can bust your back from now till the sun goes west Best things always come when your mind's at rest In the afternoon, my mind ain't sleepy, it's preoccupied Till the day is late and we let out a sigh 'Cause we know the night could fall at any time Yeah, we know the night could fall at any time We know the night...we know the night
