This one happened kinda fast :/
Cut the vocal, played the guitar some bass and drums then added some more strings.
Loveshadow on backup vocals, muted guitar and that fine orchestral bed.

Here’s the lyrics, pella is here

“Cheat the Night”

When the night
grows cold
darkness longer than the day
the suns been put on hold
Only crazy men -
and the dreamers walk the street until its light
me, Im just sitting here
tryn to cheat the night
(I’m hop’n to cheat the night)

I sit and watch the moon
in its dance across the sky
no stars about
city lights they mock the reason why
and the wind it howls
through the concrete and the stone
of my night
when I’m most alone

but oh
tell me where the lonely hearts they go?
trying to cheat the night
when the moon is hanging awfully low
Say no
be the last to throw a stone
at my fragile heart
by the morning she will know
We’re trying to cheat the night

Trying to cheat the night

And Ive tried to heal
keep that bottle on the highest shelf
my solitary wheel
spinning madly to destructive self
to the dark I feel
by myself (wishing for that morning light)
well here I am
tryn to cheat the night

but oh
tell me where the lonely hearts they go?
trying to cheat the night
when the moon is hanging awfully low
Say no
be the last to throw a stone
at my fragile heart
by the morning they will know
I’m trying to cheat the night

I’m trying to cheat the night
Oooo cheat the night
been trying to cheat the night

but oh
tell me where the lonely hearts they go?
trying to cheat the night
when their moon is hanging awfully low
Say no
be the last to throw a stone
at my fragile heart
by the morning they will know
I’m trying to cheat the night

We’re trying to cheat the night
ooo cheat the night
Let me tell you honey, cheat night
We’re trying to cheat the night
Cheat the night
Cheat the night
