31 Days: Day 8
8. Lonely Night in the Park
Well the bars close down and the lonesome armies they run for cover
The lost boys and their pick ups, man they hate each other
Ah and you're drinking 'neath the pier with Kid Blue
And Kid gets sick and throws up on your shoes
And you're thinking of making it home
Oh but your mom can't see you like this all alone
Yeah you're walking down the street and no one knows your name
Standing on the corner looking for the light to change
Sitting on the picket, light by light, line by line
They got nothing left but time
It's an outtake from BTR, with the sort of happy desperation in Night and She's The One. There are some shades of both Incident and Sandy, in terms of the themes that come up in the lyrics. It's basically a big, happy-sounding rocker with the idea that maybe the lonely night in the park isn't all that lonely after all.
