Night song


Its 2 oclock this morning
Every sane person is asleep
I wonder where you are tonight
And down whose hallways do you creep
I know you, youre out somewhere
You know you shouldnt be
Anyhow, wherever you are, I know youre not thinking of me.

So its goodnight
Maybe Ill see you in the morning
Soldier of the night
You try to combat the new day dawning
Do you fear the light?
Or do you fear the emptiness in your yawning?

So you search for life by night
Hidden from sight
Safe within the night
Lost in your crazy flight
And looking for the fight
That may prove you are someone
But you cant stop the rising sun.

When the sun comes up, the world can see your face
You slink along the sidewalk, outnumbered and out of place
All your boldness is gone, you stand there tongue-tied and shy

And then its goodnight
You put on your criminal disguise
Make sure your mask is tight
Safe now from all accusing eyes
You let loose in delight
Attacking night walkers by surprise
Protected by the night
You feel you have the right
To destroy all in your way
With the anger built by day
Now you have learned to kill
And you do it just for spite
The twisted rules of night
Have caught you in its game
Nobody knows your name
But the day will come
And youll have no place to run

Because you cant stop the rising sun.

(january 8, 1975)
