SOMETHING IN THE NIGHT 
Live 30 Oct 1976 version
Well I'm driving down Kingsley figuring I'll get a drink
I turn the radio way up loud so I don't have to think
And I take her to the floor looking for a moment when the world seems right
And I go tearing into the guts of something in the night
And I picked this chick up hitch-hiking, she hung her head out the window and she screamed
Said she was looking for someplace to go, to die or be redeemed
Said, you can ride to dawn without another human being in sight
Baby everybody's gone looking for something in the night
She said she was born with nothing, said she was better, better off that way
Soon as you got something they send somebody to come and take it away
She wants me to push that old car, together we could make it clean, make it fast, make it out of sight
And surrender to the justice of something in the night
Whoah and now nothing is forgotten or forgiven, when it's your last time around
Stuff running around my head, I can't live with or live down
Inside all the big boys and the players sit around the tables and mumble about some vague wrong and right
And outside kids like us rumble, babe, over something in the night
And when we found all the things we loved and they were crushed and dying in the dirt
And we tried to pick up the pieces and baby get away without getting hurt
And they caught us at the state line, burned our cars in one last fire fight
And sent us running blind into the swamps, chasing something in the night
