Hey, feel the darkness cold
That the streets have been away
Can you feel the darkness call
Let the street have their way
Houses that we run through
Alleys that we run through
If you're a stranger here
And you need some friction
If you're a stranger here
And you need some action
Pleased strangers' love affairs
At light and time
If you're feeling dull and drummed-out
We can really make you shine
Dancing in the city
Hours that we run through
Pleased to see another face
At light-up time
If you're feeling dull and run-down
We can really make you shine
Dancing in the city
Alleys that we run through
