In The Night

Street lights flicker around my town

When day turns to night that's when I come around

Streets are cold and damp from a midnight rain

Buildings saggin' from the years of pain

Cause I need the feeling

Of living in the night

Well you can have your security

I'll keep on living in the night

Everybody's workin' in the light of the day

I know what I like

Is living in the night

Down on the corner sits a black and white

Got the man in the back and they're readin' his rights

I slip down the alley just to stay out of sight

Looks like the law is gonna miss me tonight

Cause I need the feeling

Of living in the night

When the streets are cold

My blood runs hot in the night

Everybody's workin' in the light of the day

I know what I like

Is living in the night

Another night I spent alone

Embraced by darkness and its hidden sounds

I turn my blinds against the light

And wait again the coming of the night

Well you can have your security

I'll keep on living in the night

Well I need the feeling

Of living in the night
