Lyrics for The Black Light

Leave the heart of the city For the hert of the world Leave the heart of this city Love the way her trust unfurls Follow her hand to the dark end of the street Cross in the night Invisible to the electric eye Sippin' on a little Night Train Slippin' in to stay warm Sleep by day Move at night Sleep by day Keep moving Moving at night Sleep by day Move at night Follow her hand to the dark end of the street Cross in the night Become invisible in a blink of an eye Out past the border patrol (Out past the downtown city glow) Who's thunderbird's no match (Cross the Santa Cruz and I-10) A helicopter shadow follows you (Past the cancerous sprawl) Way out past the downtown city glow (Into fields of thorns) Cross the Santa Cruz (Through the Rincon Mountains) I-10 through the Rincon's and Cochise Stronghold (And Cochise Stronghold) South of the Chiricahuas (South of the Chiricahuas) Drifting and drifting Drifting and drifting (Drifting and drifting) Drifting and drifting (Drifting) Drifting
