night by night

• pretzel logic albümünden bir diğer güzel steely dan şarkısı.
  
  it's a beggars life, said the queen of spain
  but don't tell it to a poor man
  'cause he's got to kill for every thrill
  the best he can
  everywhere around me
  i see jealousy and mayhem
  because no men have all their peace of mind
  to carry them
  well i don't really care
  if it's wrong or if it's right
  but until my ship comes in
  i'll live night by night
  
  when the joker tried to tell me
  i could cut it in this rube town
  when he tried to hang that sign on me
  i said take it down
  when the dawn patrol got to tell you twice
  they're gonna do it with a shotgun
  yes, i'm cashing in this ten-cent life
  for another one
  
  well i ain't got the heart
  to lose another fight
  so until my ship comes in
  i'll live night by night
  
  well i don't really care
  if it's wrong or if it's right
  but until my ship comes in
  i'll live night by night
