lyrics

Open All Night

Mr and Mrs Brown, wearing frowns, fried eggs for dinner
Reverend Jones, always alone, knows he’s really a sinner
The waitress talks to them and smiles, and for a little while
They feel like winners

Open All Night bar and grill pancake emporium
Saturday night all the lonely people come
Open All Night bar and grill pancake emporium
Where do all the people come from?

Carol Ann with a fake tan drinking with her mom at the bar
She’s just 31, having no fun, asks why meeting men is so hard
The bartender pours another round and smiles, and for a little while
She forgets the invisible scars

Open All Night bar and grill pancake emporium
Saturday night all the lonely people come
Open All Night bar and grill pancake emporium
Where do all the people come from?

Sign of our times, sad people everywhere
Wrapped up in their own misery, no one cares

In a corner I sit, spotlight lit, playing my guitar
I’m just like them, looking for friends, waiting for tips in a jar
The people listen clap and smile, and for a little while
Our home is this bar

Open All Night bar and grill pancake emporium
Saturday night all the lonely people come
Open All Night bar and grill pancake emporium
Where do all the people come from?

For Mike, it all started on a Sunday night in 1964 ... February 9 ... the Beatles took the stage on the Ed Sullivan show and while the girls in the audience screamed, his parents and grandparents exclaimed about the "long hairs", a 7-year-old boy thought, 'I'm going to learn to play the guitar one day!' ... more
