SOMETHING IN THE NIGHT^©

Live 18 Oct 2002 version

Woahhh
Woahhh
Woahhh
Woahhh
Woahhh
Woahhh
Woahhh

I'm riding 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 tear into the guts, [crowd: woahh] of something in the night

You're born with nothing, and you're better off that way
Soon as you've got something they send someone to try and take it away
You can ride this road 'till dawn without another human being in sight
Yeah just kids wasted on, [crowd: woahh] something in the night

Whoa nothing is forgotten or forgiven, when it's your last time around
And I got stuff running 'round my head that I just can't live down

We found the things we loved, they were crushed and dying in the dirt
We tried to pick up the pieces, get away without getting hurt
But they caught us at the state line, we got burned in one last fight*
And left us running and blind, [crowd: woahh] chasing something in the night*

Woahhh
Woahhh
Woahhh
Woahhh
Woahhh
