Sonny got caught in the moonlight

A wanted man with a haunted heart

Sonny found out the hard way



Playing for keeps, loser weeps

He said he'd come back when the lion sleeps



Struck by lightning, the fire is dying

And she called out your name

Sudden thunder, the sky is crying

Can't tell the tears from the rain



Sonny got caught in the moonlight

Paint graffiti on the subway wall

Sonny got lost in the blue night

They stood like statues, legs spread wide

Catch him in the crossfire and take him by surprise



Struck by lightning, the fire is dying

And she called out your name

Sudden thunder, the sky is crying

Can't tell the tears from the rain

Can't tell the tears from the rain



Most my life i've been running

Paint a portrait of a fool

With my heart in my hands

They've come to take me down



Sonny got caught in the moonlight

By the power that can turn the tide

I heard three shots around midnight



Driven by the passion, running from the heat

No questions asked ... he's just a kid from the street



Struck by lightning, the fire is dying

And she called out your name

Sudden thunder, the sky is crying

Can't tell the tears from the rain

Can't tell the tears from the rain
