Live 31 May 1978 version
[Spoken intro:] We got a new album coming out in a couple of days, it's called "Darkness On The Edge Of Town". And this is called "Something In The Night".
Woahhh
Woahhh
Woahhh
Hmmm
Woahhh
Woahhh
Woahhh
Woahhh
Woahhh
Well I'm riding down Kingsley figuring I'll get a drink
Turn the radio way up loud so I don't have to think
And I take her to the floor looking for a moment when the world seems right
And I tear into the guts, hmmm, 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
Just you ??? wasted on, hmmm, something in the night
Woah nothing is forgotten or forgiven, when it's last time around, hm
And I got stuff running 'round my head that I just can't live down
When we found the things we loved, they 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
Then left us running burned and blind, hmmm, chasing something in the night
Woahhh
Woahhh
Woahhh
Hey yeah
Woahhh
Say!
The above lyrics are for the live 31 May 1978 performance of SOMETHING IN THE NIGHT at Music Hall in Boston, MA, during the Darkness On The Edge Of Town Tour. Lyrics are similar to the album version.
