The final track on the Velvet Underground’s self-titled third album, “After Hours” speaks to nights that don’t end such that one would “never have to see the day again.” Yet, with Maureen Tucker’s angelic voice, it’s more a lullaby (in spite of the chorus).

After Hours Lyrics
[Intro]
One, two, three
[Verse 1]
If you close the door
The night could last forever
Leave the sunshine out
And say hello to never
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
If you close the door
The night could last forever
Leave the wineglass out
And drink a toast to never
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
And if you close the door
The night could last forever
Leave the sunshine out
And say hello to never
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
I'd never have to see the day again, once more
I'd never have to see the day again
