Letra de
After Hours

A música After Hours de The Velvet Underground, escrita por Lou Reed, retrata um momento de introspecção e melancolia, buscando o isolamento para evitar a dor e o sofrimento do mundo exterior. Esta foi uma das poucas músicas da banda cantada pela baterista Maureen Tucker, escolhida por sua voz ser considerada inocente por Reed.

If you close the door
The night could last forever
Leave the sunshine out
And say hello to never

All the people are dancing and they're having such fun
I wish it could happen to me
But if you close the door
I'd never have to see the day again

If you close the door
The night could last forever
Leave the wine glass out
And drink a toast to never

Oh, someday I know someone will look into my eyes
And say hello
You're my very special one
But if you close the door
I'd never have to see the day again

Dark party bars, shiny Cadillac cars
And the people on subways and trains
Looking gray in the rain as they stand disarrayed
Oh but people look well in the dark

And if you close the door
The night could last forever
Leave the sunshine out
And say hello to never

All the people are dancing and they're having such fun
I wish it could happen to me
Cause if you close the door
I'd never have to see the day again
I'd never have to see the day again (once more)
I'd never have to see the day again
