The Gflicker and din in the Amdark of a FSaturday CnightG  
A Fraven's asleep in the Crafters, a Fstray cat circles a Ckill
From the Gbasement, the tin-can Amlaughter of a Flate night CthrillG

ToFmorrow's asleep on the Cfront step, and Fyesterday dreams in the AmstreetF  
But in the Cbasement apartment, a Fshadowy man, he just Amstares at the wall
He can't Gsleep
And Fme I'm just part of the Gdarkness, just Ftrying to get something Gright
On a FSaturday CnightF  
On a Saturday CnightG

And Fthis all reminds me of Csomething, the Fsong of a long ago Ctime
A Gmemory pure and Amhaunting on a FSaturday CnightG  
And FI don't have all of the Canswers, FI don't have even a Cfew
But two Gshadows above me were Amdancing and I Fthought of CyouG  
[Chorus]
TomForrow's asleep on the Cfront step, and Fyesterday dreams in the AmstreetF  
But in the Cbasement apartment, a Fshadowy man, he just Amstares at the wall
