THE DEVIL LIGHT

The night-time calling and I'm falling out of bed,
I should be sleeping but I lie awake instead,
forever creeping past the shadows of the night,
I'm always searching for a taste
of devil light.
 
The side walk steaming, people teeming everywhere,
but in the darkness no-one has the time to stare,
a certain starkness is reflected in your eyes,
but I know the face you wear
is your disguise.
 
I often stop and turn around,
retracing steps to firmer ground,
but then I find my work in vain
I'm always drawn to that devil light again.
 

CHORUS

I’m a Vampire in the night
like an endless appetite,
when you catch on your wings take flight
it feels so good there in the night.
The Devil rides again tonight
like an endless appetite,
when you catch on, your wings take flight
but watch out for the morning light.
 
I caught you crying, dreams are lying in the street,
a fast romance or one more joy ride in the seat,
with every dance you could be adding to your fears,
tomorrow night you'll still be trying
to hide your tears.
 
I often stop and turn around,
retracing steps to firmer ground.
but then I find my work in vain,
I'm always drawn to that Devil Light again.
 

CHORUS

I’m a Vampire in the night
like an endless appetite,
when you catch on your wings take flight
it feels so good there in the night.
The Devil rides again tonight
like an endless appetite,
when you catch on, your wings take flight
but watch out for the morning light.
