Genesis : Tonight,Tonight,Tonight
Lyrics
1. TONIGHT,TONIGHT,TONIGHT
I'm coming down, coming down like a monkey,
But it's alright
Like a load on your back that you can't see,
Ooh but it's alright
Try to shake it loose, cut it free,
Just let it go, get it away from me.
Cos tonight, tonight, tonight -
Oh, I'm gonna make it right
Tonight, tonight, tonight - oh.
I'm going down, going down, like a monkey,
Ooh but it's alright
Try to pick yourself up,
Carry that weight that you can't see,
Don't you know it's alright
It's like a helter skelter, going down and down,
Round and round
But just get it away from me - oh.
Because tonight, tonight, tonight - oh
We're gonna make it right
Tonight, tonight, tonight - oh.
I got some money in my pocket, about ready to burn
I don't remember where I got it, I gotta get it to you
So please answer the phone, cos I keep calling,
But you're never home
What am I gonna do
Tonight, tonight, tonight - oh
I'm gonna make it right
Tonight, tonight, tonight - oh.
You keep telling me I've got everything,
You say I've got everything I want
You keep telling me you're gonna help me,
You're gonna help me, but you don't
But now I'm in too deep
You see it's got me so that I just can't sleep
Oh get me out of here, please get me out of here
Just help me I'll do anything, anything
If you'll just help me get out of here.
I'm coming down, coming down like a monkey,
Ooh but it's alright
It's like a load on your back that you can't see,
Ooh don't you know that it's alright
Just try to shake it loose, cut it free, let it go
But just get it away from me
Cos tonight, tonight, tonight - oh
Maybe we'll make it right
Tonight, tonight, tonight - oh.
Please get me out of here
Someone get me out of here
Just help me I'll do anything, anything
If you'll just help get me out of here
Tonight - oh, I'm gonna make it right
Tonight, tonight, tonight - oh.
Yes tonight, tonight, tonight - oh,
Yes I'm gonna make it right, tonight,
Tonight, tonight - oh...
2. IN THE GLOW OF THE NIGHT
The grey of evening fills the room,
There's no need to look outside,
To see or feel the rain.
Then I reach across to touch her,
But I know that she's not there.
Rain keeps running down the window pane.
Time is running out for me.
Can't you see what you are doing to me?
Can't you see what you have done?
As I try to pass another long and sleepless night,
A hundred crazy voices call my name,
As I try to pass them by,
I almost can believe that she is here,
Here in the glow of the night.
Do you know what you have done?
Do you know what you've begun?
Do you see we shall never be together again?
All of my life.
Lonely people, empty rooms,
Pointless violence, silent tombs.
Could it be that we shall be together again?
Sheets of double glazing help to keep outside the night,
Only foreign city sirens can cut through,
Nylon sheets and blankets help to minimize the cold.
But they can't keep out the chilling sounds.
Will the nightmare soon give way to dreaming
That she is here with me?
Here in the glow of the night.
Do you know what you have done?
Do you know what you've begun?
Do you see we shall never be together again?
All of my life.
Lonely people, empty rooms,
Pointless violence, silent tombs.
Could it be that we shall be together again?
Could it be that we shall be together again?
In silence and darkness
We held each other near that night
We prayed it would last forever.
I'm coming down, coming down like a monkey,
But it's alright
Like a load on your back that you can't see,
Ooh but it's alright
Try to shake it loose, cut it free,
Just let it go, get it away from me.
Cos tonight, tonight, tonight -
Oh, I'm gonna make it right
Tonight, tonight, tonight - oh.
I'm going down, going down, like a monkey,
Ooh but it's alright
Try to pick yourself up,
Carry that weight that you can't see,
Don't you know it's alright
It's like a helter skelter, going down and down,
Round and round
But just get it away from me - oh.
Because tonight, tonight, tonight - oh
We're gonna make it right
Tonight, tonight, tonight - oh.
I got some money in my pocket, about ready to burn
I don't remember where I got it, I gotta get it to you
So please answer the phone, cos I keep calling,
But you're never home
What am I gonna do
Tonight, tonight, tonight - oh
I'm gonna make it right
Tonight, tonight, tonight - oh.
You keep telling me I've got everything,
You say I've got everything I want
You keep telling me you're gonna help me,
You're gonna help me, but you don't
But now I'm in too deep
You see it's got me so that I just can't sleep
Oh get me out of here, please get me out of here
Just help me I'll do anything, anything
If you'll just help me get out of here.
I'm coming down, coming down like a monkey,
Ooh but it's alright
It's like a load on your back that you can't see,
Ooh don't you know that it's alright
Just try to shake it loose, cut it free, let it go
But just get it away from me
Cos tonight, tonight, tonight - oh
Maybe we'll make it right
Tonight, tonight, tonight - oh.
Please get me out of here
Someone get me out of here
Just help me I'll do anything, anything
If you'll just help get me out of here
Tonight - oh, I'm gonna make it right
Tonight, tonight, tonight - oh.
Yes tonight, tonight, tonight - oh,
Yes I'm gonna make it right, tonight,
Tonight, tonight - oh...
