Beat Of The Night

from Miscellaneous Singles by Ian Rushton

/

lyrics

by Murray Knock

The city’s heartbeat
Pounds from within
No invitation,
Just give in

The sun goes down
Steals the light of day
Sharing a moment
As the night shift plays

This bustling town
With sidewalks grey
Story of your life
No getting away


You belong to the evening
A slave to neon lights
Swaying in a sea of strangers
To the beat of the night

Caught up in the city
A captive ‘til first light
Danced to yesterday's promise
To the beat of the night

Born to run
No time for friends
Living on instinct
A means to an end

Streets are tough
A game of wits
Taking chances and…
Avoiding risks

Owe no favours and
Pay no debts
Stay or leave
Without regrets


'Hanging on to what's held dear
Rhythm's all that's kept you here'


In the heat of the night
You move to the beat of the night
Really need the heat of the night
Can't escape the beat of the night
