Thief In The Night

(album: Crazy Nights - 1987)

Far off in the distance
A shape in the night, alright
On a mission of mercy
If the price is right, uh
He tries to possess her
And she bites

It's a ritual slaying
But the tables are turned, oh no
And now he's praying
But it's his turn to burn

(Like a thief in the night) She breaks into his heart
(Like a thief in the night) She never leaves her mark

In a hotel chamber
On a cryptic note
'Cause where there's fire
There's gotta be smoke, oh no
Footsteps in the twilight
And red nails 'round his throat

It's a ritual slaying
Without strings attached, oh no
And now he's praying
But there's no turning back

(Like a thief in the night) She breaks into his heart
(Like a thief in the night)
(Like a thief in the night) She never leaves her mark
(Like a thief in the night) Alright, alright

(Like a thief in the night) She breaks into his heart
(Like a thief in the night) Alright, alright
(Like a thief in the night) She never leaves her mark
(Like a thief in the night)

(Like a thief in the night)
(Like a thief in the night)
(Like a thief in the night)
(Like a thief in the night)
