Ride along lady woman of the night
Looking for a place to go
Dancing on storm clouds, hiding from the light
Looking for an easy Joe
You just wanna play around
Searching for a higher ground

Walking every side street kicking up the leaves
Running from the pouring rain
Standing on the corners, shaking from the cold
Only got yourself to blame
You just wanna play around
Searching for a higher ground

Someone who could make you happy
Someone who would care
You’ve broken your life beyond repair
You’re reaching for every rainbow
You’re wondering why
Don’t reach out for love ’cause it’s a lie

You’ve got your number on the wall
Of some deserted station hall
Is this your only claim to fame
Will you just play the waiting game
But you won’t stop the things you do
Some night the evil get to you
