Outside nature beats the tar out of nature An intelligent disease inside a healthy plant I heard you were one of those homewrecking truckers, well ain't ya? 18 wheels of terror: the driver's union chant Turn it up on the vamp When night falls Who picks it up? Who picks it up? Who picks it up? Stitched on the inside of his jacket is a note for the doctor: Send my remains to a stranger picked out of a hat He's adept at piano but he never claimed to have rocked her Then the band took a break and went to get high in the back But it's enough if we ask When night falls Who picks it up? Who picks it up? Who picks it up? A hand comes down and turns the airplane around An alarm clock sounds and shakes the unconscious down And then the playground hounds sniff out every drug in town On a Friday night In the middle of the month In the preacher's house At the mayor's house In the policeman's car In the teacher's bag In the doctor's lab It's enough if we ask When night falls Who picks it up? Who picks it up? Who picks it up?
