One two three four
Mmmmmmmmm
Whoaaa Whooaaaaa
Whoooooaaaa
Well I'm riding down Kingsley
Figuring I'll get a drink
Well I turn the radio way up loud
So I don't have to think at all
And I take her to the floor
Looking for a moment when the world seems right
And I tear into the guts
Mmmmmmmm
Of something in the night
Well you're born with nothing
And better off that way
Soon as you've got something they send
Someone to try and take it away
You can ride this road 'till dawn
Without another human being in sight
Yeah just kid's wasted on
Mmmmmmmmm
Something in the night
Nothing is forgotten or forgiven
When it's your last time around
Huh
I got stuff running around 'round my head
That I just can't live down
Well we found the things we loved
Were crushed and dying in the dirt
We tried to pick up the pieces
And get away without getting hurt
But they caught us at the state line
And burned our cars in one last fight
And left us running burned and blind
Chasing something in the night
Whooooaaaaa
Whooooaaaaa
Whooooaaaaa
Yeahhhhhhhh
Whoooaaaaa
