Beautiful Night- We are made of water and electrolytes...

...you and I, orbiting satellites.

sound of music from a steel guitar,
nothing but wind
nothing but stars


Portland (OR)'s legendary Casey Neill.

Two versions.

An intimate duet with Little Sue:



and a full blown rendition with the Norway Rats:



The song:

BEAUTIFUL NIGHT

charcoal grey sky, rainy streets, dirty town
crying all the time
the tears of heaven falling down
and i love the twilight
between the worlds as evening falls
it draws us in
the darkness whispers to us all

in the beautiful night shimmering with neon lights
in the beautiful night another innocent taking flight
sound of music from a crowded bar
alcohol and wind, cigarettes and stars...

14th and Main, crossing bells, a passing train
the sorrow we’ve known all washed away
in the pitiless rain
your eyes are bright bright orange fire
hold me close, i am filled with wild desire

in the beautiful night, rude boys out looking for a fight
in the beautiful night, fists will fly the sparks ignite
sound of music from a crowded bar
alcohol and wind, cigarettes and stars...

exiled on lovers leap
campfires burn on the beach
we leave the city’s glow, and head on out to Signal Reach
down by the ocean, green and blue, wild and deep
I could hold you here forever
lying awake, watching you sleep

in the beautiful night, i've never seen a prettier sight
in the beautiful night, with your baby when you know its right
sound of music from a steel guitar,
nothing but wind nothing but stars
we are made of water and electrolytes
you and I
orbiting satellites
