In The Night

Lyrics for In The Night

In the city The day is too hot And you're hoping for relief 'Cause your head is filled with pain But you get no relief 'Cause the night is the same In the night In the night, you see Through jaded eyes In the night In the night, you feel Barely alive You live your life in darkness You've got pennies on your eyes And you say that it's alright 'Cause you never lived a lie As you crawl back to your womb-like existence in the night In the night In the night, you see Through jaded eyes In the night In the night, you feel Barely alive You can't see no light But you hear those heavy footsteps And the little man inside Twists your tormented mind Your mind is filled with shadows Your palms are wet with sweat Limbs are bound and tangled In a fatal net There are two things you can do One is turn and fight The other's run headlong Into the night In the night In the night, you see Through jaded eyes In the night In the night, you feel Barely alive You can't see no light But you hear those heavy footsteps And the breathing at your side Is it yours, or is it goodbye?
