Last night, you cried all night long;
Last night, you cried all night long.
Your laugh like radio static
Never found its way through your hard palate
Last night you cried all night long.

And it’s strange
Bein’ back in this town.
I’ve become a reluctant ambassador
For this town that I abandoned

What about the trial
Do you think he’s gonna walk
Did you feel the earth shaking
Do you see a lot of stars
Getting sucked off in their cars

And the radio never quits…
Sheryl’s leaving Las Vegas again.
Well why don’t you just leave, Sheryl
If you hate it that much
I’m always leavin’ someplace now
More than I’m ever goin’ anyplace

Last night you cried all night long
Last night you cried all night long
Your laugh like radio static
Never found its way through your hard palate
Last night you cried all night long

And I’ve noticed
Since the end of the Cold War
Folks have needed to hate this town
More than ever, do you think there’s a connection
And I’ve noticed
Since about ‘92
A subtle shift in gravitational pull.
I think we’re getting closer to the sun and
And no one’s telling us

And hey
Do you think there’s a connection
Last night you kept me up all night
And finally
After one last swollen peek
Early this morning you fell–asleep

I tell ya
Bein’ on the road all the time
Every time I get your message machine
Sometimes it drives me crazy

But sometimes
When I get your message machine
I’m happy to talk for 10 seconds and hang up.
I don’t gotta answer no questions
Sometimes I need it like that

And the radio never quits
Some unsigned artist thinks everything’s fine
Well, I think everything’s fine, too
‘Cept I never been so tired.
My face is stained with salt from your face
And I didn’t get no sleep

Last night you cried all night long;
Last night you cried all night long;
Your laugh like radio static
Never found its way through your hard palate
Last night you cried all night long
