Lyrics
Anything could happen,on a night just like tonight. Anything could happen; you can make it turn out right. Anything could happen and the world will fall apart. It’s just one careless word but, oh, it pierces the heart. You could fall in love tonight. She’s down upon her knees. She offers you her body; she knows just how to please. You could fall in love tonight. There he is - on his knees and he begs you to forgive him for his sexual unease. On a night like this, there’s something in the air. It could be the music down in Washington Square. It could be exotic perfumes from the farthest East or that heady musk of jazz from your lady’s sheets. It could be the distant roar of cannons in the West. It could be gasoline and that smell of burning flesh. It could be all of the planets whirling away from their paths around this lunatic asylum that we call the earth. Anything can happen when the moon is on the brink. You could meet your enemy; he’s buying you a drink. You could find your savior then betray him with a kiss, because anything could happen on a night like this. There are fortunes to be won and there’re worlds to be lost, because any thing can happen when the dice are tossed. It could be the beginning of your next hundred years or before the morning rises, you’ll cry a thousand tears. Everyone’s been wounded by all this constant strife, so your very best friend takes his solace with your wife. You run to your family and they hit you where it hurts. You run up to a stranger and he offers you his shirt. Anything can happen when the moon is on the brink. Anything can happen and it’s later than you think. You want to get yours in before the music starts to fade. You want to take advantage, so you join in the parade. Now here comes the emperor; he’s not wearing clothes - while the rags of the poor are all threaded with gold. As long as you keep it moving, this night will never end and there’s the garden of Eden, just around the bend. Anything can happen when the world is on the brink. You could meet your enemy; he’s buying you a drink. You could find your savior then betray him with a kiss, because anything could happen on a night like this. Yes, anything could happen on a night like this.
