After Hours (live version 1) The Velvet Underground

[Intro]
[Reed]
This is a song that uh... I originally had figured on featuring myself doing it with a, you know, spotlight and a gold lamé dress but then I figured "well, you know, I don't- I don’t know if they're ready to accept that..." so we- we got ol' Maureen out and we figured "They’ll believe her where they wouldn't believe me" ... even though I always tell the truth...

[Tucker]
This'll be our last song for this set... it's called "After Hours"
....Ready?

[Verse One]
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

[Chorus]
But if you close the door
I'd never have to see the day again

[Verse Two]
If you close the door, the night could last forever
Leave the wineglass 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 --

[Chorus]
But if you close the door
I'd never have to see the day again
