Two A.M. on a downtown street

There on a corner two strangers meet, in the night

And then until the daybreak

They're gonna love and before and light,

A heart may break, there in the night



Look in the alleys along the roads

It's there the losers stand,

There in the ring they bide their time

Hustling what they can

They beg just to get

That bottle in their hand



There in the night

Somewhere in the night

Oh how they do what they do

Just to get through

There in the night ... in the night



Then on the street in the heart of town

A lady in black she turns around, in the night, yeah

She stares at the man in the Cadillac

He drives by but he'll be back ... for the night

There in the night



See the guy along the road

Who can he be?

Wait awhile he'll turn around

See the man is me

'Cause when I sing my dream ...

My dreams will set me free



There in the night

Somewhere in the night

Oh how they do what they do

Just to get through

There in the night ... in the night



When the sun goes down

And the light grows dim

Slowly move in for the kill

If you would come back again

It would take away this pain

But I don't know if you ever will



Love in the night

Would feel so right

So love me tonight .. in the night





There in the night

Somewhere in the night

Oh how they do what they do

Just to get through

There in the night ... in the night
