She's a perked up and nobody see With a story told to man it seems Like a refugee in the dead of night Shines the light to make her whole She's a one way ride anywhere she goes On a greyhound bus she's the desert floor With a runaway dream to hard to hide I never ask the reasons why She is the night She is the night She's got an animal behind that sway When you turn out the light She's a runaway She is the night She's the static on the radio She a one day here and the next she's gone She's the stuck between the Jack and king With full hand up her sleeve She is the night She is the night She's got an animal behind that sway When you turn out the light She's a runaway Ooh She is a long lost friend She touches you She gives and disappears again (She's a runaway) She is a lovers rage And I know she only passes by But I'm standing by She is the night She is the night She's got an animal behind that sway When you turn out the light She's a runaway She is the night She's a runaway
