Get up every morning at the sound of the bell

Get to work late and the boss man give you hell

And you're out on a midnight run

you're not taking any heat from anyone.

And it feels right,

as you lock up the house,

turn out the light

and step out into the night.



And the world is bustin' out it seems

and you're just a prisoner of your dreams

holdin' on for your life.

You work all day to prove it in the night



The rat trap's filled with soul crusaders

Circus line and jammed with

you're checking with your buddies on the boulevard

as you jockey your way through the cars

and sit at the light,

as it changes to green,

you have faith in the machine

and off you scream into the night.



And you're in love with all the wonder it brings

And every muscle in your body sings

As the highway ignites

You work nine to five trying to stay alive in the night.



You're out all day bustin your rump on the outside,

But tonight you're going to break on through to the inside,

tonight tonight tonight tonight tonight.



And you know she will be waiting there

And you'll find her somehow you swear, somewhere, tonight

You'll run wild and free and all you will see

Is the night, the night, the night.
