Published by northern goody two tunes, ltd./capac - ascap

Were runners in the night, you and me
Were tryin to find the truth baby, tryin to get free
Were playin with fire, but it aint no use
Gotta have a wink baby, bustin loose

I say were runners in the night, you and me
Runners in the night, you and me
Runners in the night, we aint no good till after midnight, yeah

I can take the heat baby, and i get burned
Shadows all around, uptown, you live and learn
The magic of the stars, and the neon moons
Exploding into pieces baby, yeah, much too soon
You gotta hang tough, and take it head on
Youre playin for keeps now, in the midnight sun

I say were runners in the night, me and you
Tryin to find the truth, but never do
Runnin in the night, we aint no good till after midnight

Its like the night of the living dead, everybodys on borrowed time
Aint you gonna go crazy baby, sure enough
If you keep walkin that line, all the time
But you know you we a choice girl, you just gotta be tough
Just between you and me, i say enoughs enough

Runners in the night, you and me
Runners in the night, well always be
Runners in the night, we aint no good till after midnight, yeah
