lyrics

It’s a sunny night. Nothing works out right.
And anyway you wouldn’t know
How to spend the time. Hell, the waiting’s fine
You either stay or else you go

3 o’clock 3 o’clock where will you be when you get off
Might be coming round the block at 3 o’clock
I’m the one you think you hear when nobody is standing near
I’m the one who disappears at 3 o’clock

Little baby in her room, temperature rising
Temperature soon you’ll be higher than the moon at 3 o’clock.
You took the shot you had the fun, how would you like to see her run?
How would you like to make her gone at 3 o’clock?

You need my help this time Your life’s an awful crime
You need my help this time of night.
What can I say to you, nothing we ain’t been through
You need my help this time of night

It’s a lonely day, or a good copy anyway
That sits here numbly in the hall.
They come to read to you or at least you presume they do
But you’re not sure you’ll match them all

You say the words that tie you down, you peel the skin off of this old town
You might be stronger than you sound at 3 o’clock
Here to heaven’s a long hard way. It’s better left to another day
Start adding up the hell you pay at 3 o’clock

Was each of us a souvenir, a quiet victory you held dear?
Why suddenly weren’t we so clear at 3 o’clock?
The lucky ones have their houses robbed, come home to find the decks all swabbed
You still face the same old mob at 3 o’clock.

You need my help this time Your life’s an awful crime
You need my help this time of night.
What can I say to you, nothing we ain’t been through
You need my help this time of night

… The lucky ones have their houses robbed, come home to find the decks all swabbed
You still face the same old mob at 3 o’clock.
