lyrics

IT WAS CLOUDY, IT WAS COLD
I HAD TO ASK A HOMELESS MAN IF THE TOWN WAS CLOSED
HE WAS LIGHTING UP HIS NOSE
AND DOWN NEAR THE DONUT SHOP SHE’S TAKING OFF HER CLOTHES

IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD IT’S DANGEROUS TO PARK
ANOTHER BATTERY THAT SOMEWHERE LOST ITS SPARK
UP ON THE HORIZON ALL I SEE ARE SHARKS
IN PORTLAND AFTER DARK, PORTLAND AFTER DARK

I LEFT A BAR TAB WITH NO NAME
AND IF YOU WERE WITH ME THERE YOU’D HAVE DONE THE SAME
THE STREETS ARE WET BUT THAT’S NOT RAIN
IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL YOU WILL GET STUCK HERE AGAIN

HEAD OUT UP THE ROAD WHERE THE WATERFALL’S A DREAM
SPEND ALL OF YOUR MONEY ON RECORDS YOU DON’T NEED
GRAB ANOTHER TALLBOY IF WANT TO MAKE THE SCENE
IN PORTLAND AFTER DARK, PORTLAND AFTER DARK

I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT
IT HIT ME LIKE AN OLD FRIEND I’D ALREADY LEFT
IN THE AIRPORT WHERE I SLEPT
THE JANITORS WOULD COME AND CLEAN, THEY COULDN’T HAVE CARED LESS

WENT TO A CORNER BAR WITH SPEAKERS UP ON STANDS
MINGLED WITH THE LOCAL CROWD TO WATCH A SOUTHERN BAND
DRANK OUT ON THE SIDEWALK JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN
IN PORTLAND AFTER DARK, PORTLAND AFTER DARK
