We're runners in the night, you and me

We're tryin' to find the truth baby, tryin' to get free

We're playin' with fire, but it ain't no use

Gotta have a wink baby, bustin' loose



I say we're runners in the night, you and me

Runners in the night, you and me

Runners in the night, we ain't no good till after midnight, yeah



I can take the heat baby, and i get burned

Shadows all around, uptown, you live and learn

The magic of the stars, and the neon moons

Exploding into pieces baby, yeah, much too soon

You gotta hang tough, and take it head on

You're playin' for keeps now, in the midnight sun



I say we're runners in the night, me and you

Tryin' to find the truth, but never do

Runnin' in the night, we ain't no good till after midnight



It's like the night of the living dead, everybody's on borrowed time

Ain't you gonna go crazy baby, sure enough

If you keep walkin' that line, all the time

But you know you we a choice girl, you just gotta be tough

Just between you and me, i say enough's enough



Runners in the night, you and me

Runners in the night, we'll always be

Runners in the night, we ain't no good till after midnight, yeah
