Runners In The Night

(album: Power Play - 1982)

We're runners in the night, you and me
We're trying to find the truth, baby, trying to get free
We're playing with fire, but it ain't no use
Gotta have a wink, baby, busting loose

I say we're runners in the night, you and me
Runners in the night, you and me
Runners in the night, we ain't no good till after midnight, yeah

I can take the heat, baby, and I get burned
Shadows all around, uptown, you live and learn
The magic of the stars, and the neon moons
Exploding into pieces, baby, yeah, much too soon
You gotta hang tough, and take it head on
You're playing for keeps now, in the midnight sun

I say we're runners in the night, me and you
Trying to find the truth, but never do
Running in the night, we ain't no good till after midnight

It's like the night of the living dead, everybody's on borrowed time
Ain't you gonna go crazy, baby? Sure enough!
If you keep walking that line, all the time
But, you know you we a choice girl, you just gotta be tough
Just between you and me, I say enough's enough

Runners in the night, you and me
Runners in the night, we'll always be
Runners in the night, we ain't no good till after midnight, yeah
