Paroles de I Swear I Heard The Night Talking

In the nicotine glare of a cold naked lightI drag my body from the covers and down forty flightsI run out the front door into the center of the streetI scream out your name as the steam just swells around my feetI hear you after midnight from the inner cityAs every Cinderella turns to drop dead prettyWe were built out of the darkness into this West Side StoryWe came together in the shadows but the moon just steals our gloryWell this is my battleground babyThis is my playthingThe only thing I've ever knownOutside of a wedding ringAnd I swear I heard the night talkingCursing me for being a little more than hopelessTelling me we're running lonely, loose and brokenStronger now on passion but haven't we really spokenAnd all we ever do is listen to the night talkingOn the burden of insanity we can't find the causeOn a flatbed truck well the home girl she paints her clawsThere's a coward who gets his courage undercover of the darkAnd it's a strange breed of devil freeze at night to go walking in the park
