Dark city streets twist and moan In the heat as night descends Two searching eyes find their way into mine inviting me in Dancing so close, we already know how good it will be We slip out from the unseeing crowd, we find what we need [Chorus] In the heart of the night we run like bandits Two hungry hearts under the gun In the heart of the night when we find each other Were stealing love on the run In the heart of the night Heart of the night Cool city moon lays its touch on the room, Your eyes reach to me Two shadows fall saying nothing at all, We know what we need In the release two prisoners are free from the darkness One more escape surviving the heartache and madness In the heart of the night we run like bandits Two hungry hearts under the gun In the heart of the night when we find each other Were stealing love on the run In the heart of the night Heart of the night [Chorus: x 2] In the heart of the night In the heart of the night
