Story Behind The Song

A man (or, if sung by a woman, a woman) lives a free-wheelin', libertine lifestyle. He (or she) sees still another object of interest and asks if he (or she) can help, "Watched you for hours walk around in a daze,/ A hungry creature in a barroom haze."

Song Description

: People believe that certain things can protect you from disease in a moment of physical intimacy. They use the word ?protected.? They might say, ?I have protection with me.? That mystifies me. It makes me wonder what ?protection? they brought alo

Are you lost? What can I help you find?
You live by broken street lamp, an empty sign?
Watched you for hours walk around in a daze,
A hungry creature in a barroom haze.

(One night stands) I know just what you're goin' through.
(ONE NIGHT FALLS) You walk like someone's after you.
(One night stands) I know just what you're lookin' for in this bar.
(ONE NIGHT FALLS) At least I know just who I am -- and who you are.

Missed the bus, didja miss the train?
Slip in my car, I'm in the right hand lane.
So many places I can show to you.
We'll find that street lamp before the night is through

(One night stands) I know just what you're goin' through.
(ONE NIGHT FALLS) You walk like someone's after you.
(One night stands) I know just what you're lookin' for in this bar.
(ONE NIGHT FALLS) At least I know just who I am -- and who you are.

Drivin' lights that blaze and bleed in the dark.
Cross a bridge above a high-crime park.
Stop to water weeds around a road guard,
Rusting couplings in a railway yard.

(One night stands) I know just what you're goin' through.
(ONE NIGHT FALLS) You walk like someone's after you.
(One night stands) I know just what you're lookin' for in this bar.
(ONE NIGHT FALLS) At least I know just who I am -- and who you are.

Another conquest in a dangerous game
Sleeps beside me. Can't recall the name.
Did the fire by me burn the same way?
Aflame last night, cold and dead today?

(One night stands) I know just what you're goin' through.
(ONE NIGHT FALLS) You walk like someone's after you.
(One night stands) I know just what you're lookin' for in this bar.
(ONE NIGHT FALLS) At least I know just who I am -- and who you are.
