Rx Bandits - Only For The Night Lyrics






There's a girl stuck in the mirror
And she stares into my eyes
She says she kiss me tender
I say I don't love her but I know it's a lie

And lately she's been lonely
I couldn't tell you why
Ohh no
She lives without emotion
She makes me better
Only for the night
Only for the night
Only for the night yeah yeah
Only for the night yeah yeah

Ohh, last night I dreamt about her
And our bodies mocked our minds
Her taste was so familiar
I say I don't need her but I know it's a lie

I swear that it's the last time
That I lay down with her
Ohh, she holds me when I'm shaking
And it makes me better
Only for the night
Only for the night
Only for the night yeah yeah
Only for the night yeah yeah

I swear, I swear, this is the last time I tie it
I swear, I swear, this is the last time I tie it

She used to dream of moving pictures
Now she slips into the sky

Lately I've been lonely
I couldn't tell you why
She live without emotion
It makes me better
Only for the night
Only for the night
Only for the night

    I grew up with the Rx Bandits, and in my youth, even today, sometimes it's bittersweet listening to some tracks. How these things can remind of you all the things that we wish we could undo...along with inspiring me to pursue music as a passion, it also got me into production, and doing commercial work in addition to playing with an orchestra and also as Principal Trumpet of the Mass. Wind Symphony (Now the Boston Metropolitan Wind Symphony), my knowledge of the complexities of the most subtle things is what makes this song, and so much of their work sometimes provide hope for me in the existence of the divine, or something greater than ourselves. While it may be easily interpreted as being about heroin, can anyone honestly say there there hasn't been something, someone, or somewhere, be it drugs, sex, alcohol, and, worser, the things so dark and deep that a testament to how fragile we are--and how beautiful things can be...the love in understanding that there are some things and aspects of the human experience with intimacy that defies the written word, oil on canvas, and cinema. For things like this, we have music. As a composer, what's most brilliant about this song, and equally haunting, is the true mark of a musician and band that takes a driven, immaculately percussive song, and truly expose the vulnerability in his mind, heart, and most prominently, the delicately heartbreaking realization in that drop to a whisper and single strung-guitar countermelody. But, as many of us know, that pain he provides a glimpse of is but only for an instant, and it's once more to the lake...

    Can you imagine life without music. Not worth living. Music evokes the craziest stuff in us

    B.... M....

    +Peter Peter I think it's the other way around. Music comes from the craziest stuff in us.

    B.... M....

    +snap peas I think because it comes from a place of the craziest stuff in one person, it also evokes the craziest stuff in others. So, you're both right.

  11. x.... V....

    man I don't know if anyone from rx had any heroin problems but Ive had my share and we always refer to it as HER weird.\

    x.... V....

    what was it like? how did you feel at the time(while you were on it)? Are you a contributing member of society? (be honest on that last one)

    x.... V....

    +Nut ella This album is about addiction and it mentions IV use for sure, when using the word plunger.

    x.... V....

    Fuck you how's that for a contribution

    x.... V....

    Fuck jockstrap and anyone else who thinks you owe an explanation or "contributions to society". Hope you're well

    x.... V....

    JockStrap69 die slow bitch

    if The Mars Volta 'suck', then I'd hate to think what everything else is... run along troll.

  26. S.... ....

    I may just be an alcoholic, but the lyrics seem to refer more to a bottle of rum instead of a woman.

    These guys truly embody selfless egoless musicianship. This recording is really raw and pure too. Well, if any of you guys are looking for other music somewhat similar check out Tangent Transmission. They're similar to Mars Volta, Muse, Rage, Tool, and Jeff Buckley. Anyway, enjoy the rest of the music on here. Cheers!
