Lonely Is the Night

by Billy Squier

v.1
Lonely is the night when you find yourself alone
Demons come alive, and your mind is not your own
Lonely is the night, when there's no one left to call
Feel the time is right, say the writing's on the wall

v.2
It's a hard time to fight, when the walls are closin' in
Call it what you like, it's time you got your wind
Lonely lonely lonely, you feel it sinkin' down
You find you're not the only stranger in this town

Refrain I:
Red lights, green lights, stop-n-go jive
Headlines, deadlines, jammin' your mind
You've been stealin' shots from the side
Let your feelin's go for a ride

v.3
Danger out tonight, the man is on the prowl
Get the dynamite, the boys are set to howl
Lonely is the night, when you hear the voices call
Are you ready for a ride -- do you wanna take it all?

Refrain II:
Slow down, showdown, waitin' your time
Showtime, no time, changin' your mind
Streets are ringin' rise to the sound
Let the secret follow you down
