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
