In the Night lyrics

In the city, the day is too hot

And you're hoping for relief, 'cause your head is filled with pain

But you get no relief, 'cause the night is the same...

In the night, in the night you see through jaded eyes

In the night, in the night you feel barely alive

You live your life in darkness, you've got pennies on your eyes

But you say that it's all right, 'cause you've never lived a lie

As you crawl back to your womb-like existence in the night

In the night, in the night you see through jaded eyes

In the night, in the night you feel barely alive

You can't see no light, but you hear those heavy footsteps

And the little man inside twists your tormented mind

Your mind is filled with shadows, your palms are wet with sweat

Limbs are bound and tangled in a fatal net

There are two things you can do

One is turn and fight

The other's run headlong into the night

In the night, in the night you see through jaded eyes

In the night, in the night you feel barely alive

You can't see no light, but you hear those heavy footsteps

And the breathing at your side, is it yours, or is it

Good bye!
