The neon moon was lookin' over her shoulder She was sippin' wine and tellin' lots of tales When the bar flies are off the wall, It's hard to stand up straight and tall When you're lookin' for someone to go your bail She's puttin' the dark back into the night She's got her heart on loose thinkin' love ain't right The future ain't lookin none too bright So she's puttin' the dark, back into the night She gave her hand to a man who was only a lover His cheatin' drove her jealously insane Now the light at the end of the tunnel for her Is just a memory of the way we were And the look in her eye say's she don't have to explain She's puttin' the dark back into the night She's got her heart on loose thinkin' love ain't right The future ain't lookin none too bright So she's puttin' the dark, back into the night You'll never know just what you'll do When a broken heart comes from out of the blue She's out on the run, she's ready to blow She's out of her mind, she's los in' control She's puttin' the dark back into the night She's got her heart on loose thinkin' love ain't right The future ain't lookin none too bright So she's puttin' the dark, back into the night She's puttin' the dark back into the night She's got her heart on loose thinkin' love ain't right The future ain't lookin none too bright So she's puttin' the dark, back into the night
