We’re runners in the night, you and me We’re tryin’ to find the truth, baby, tryin’ to get free We’re playin’ with fire, but it ain’t no use Gotta have a wink, baby, bustin’ loose
I say we’re runners in the night, you and me Runners in the night, you and me Runners in the night, we ain’t 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 You’re playin’ for keeps now, in the midnight sun
I say we’re runners in the night, me and you Tryin’ to find the truth, but never do Runnin’ in the night, we ain’t no good till after midnight
It’s like the night of the living dead, everybody’s on borrowed time Ain’t 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 enough’s enough
Runners in the night, you and me Runners in the night, we’ll always be Runners in the night, we ain’t no good till after midnight, yeah
