Lonely Is The Night

(album: Don't Say No - 1981)

Lonely is the night when you find yourself alone
Your demons come to light and your mind is not your own
Lonely is the night when there's no one left to call
You feel the time is right--(say) the writin's on the wall

It's a high time to fight when the walls are closing in
Call it what you like--It's time you got to win
Lonely, lonely, lonely--your spirit's sinking down
You find you're not the only stranger in this town

Red lights, green lights, stop 'n go jive
Headlines, deadlines jamming your mind
You been stealing shots from the side
Let your feelin's go for a ride

There's danger out tonight..the man is on the prowl
Get the dynamite...the boys are set to prowl
Lonely is the night when you hear the voices call
Are you ready for a fight--do you wanna take it all

Slowdown, showdown--waiting on line
Showtime, no time for changing your mind
Streets are ringing, march to the sound
Let your secrets follow you down

Somebody's watching you baby--so much you can do
Nobody's stopping you baby, from making it too
One glimpse'll show you now baby, what the music can do
One kiss'll show you now baby--it can happen to you

No more sleeping, wasting our time
Midnight creepin's first on our minds
No more lazing 'round the tv
You'll go crazy--come out with me
