You get up every morning at the sound of the bell

You get to work late and the boss man's giving you hell

Till you're out on a midnight run

Losing your heart to a beautiful one

And it feels right as you lock up the house

Turn out the lights and step out into the night



And the world is busting at its seams

And you're just a prisoner of your dreams

Holding on for your life 'cause you work all day

To blow 'em away in the night



The rat traps filled with soul crusaders

The circuits lined and jammed with chromed invaders

And she's so pretty that you're lost in the stars

As you jockey your way through the cars

And sit at the light, as it changes to green

With your faith in your machine 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 and somehow you survive till the night

Hell all day they're busting you up on the outside

But tonight you're gonna break on through to the inside

And it'll be right, it'll be right, and it'll be tonight



And you know she will be waiting there

And you'll find her somehow you swear

Somewhere tonight you run sad and free

Until all you can see is the night
