Southside Johnny - Sirens of the Night lyrics

(J. Lyon/S. Skinner) Well I never walked a night so dark I guess the moon has blown a fuse Muffled anger leaks from a second story window Sounds like somebody giving somebody the blues A yellow cab goes growling down a side-street Tom cats are howling in the trees The air tonight is as thick as the beer in England No one suspects a breeze Yea it's hot, but it's not a question of degrees All the sirens of the night They draw you out from all the light All the sirens of the night Of the night Jenny's gone back to Princeton early She said she couldn't take the heat But the words behind all the words she said Said she really couldn't take the street Madness sputters in the neon lights And pain sits laughing in the bricks Sorrows lurking beneath the sewer grates It's rude unhealthy mix And out there, well the air ain't so full of tricks All the sirens of the night They draw you out from all the light All the sirens of the night Of the night So tie me to the masthead of your sad old '68 And let the sirens sing their song And lead me to my fate For I'm already lost at sea Third time going down A sailors song is just debris When you're shipwrecked in this town All the sirens of the night They draw you out from all the light All the sirens of the night Oh the sirens of the night Doppler Shift Music/Liedela Music ASCAP/Nervous Music BMI
