I been walkin' at the midnight hour In the darkness I can feel it's power The city streets are a mystery, I said a mystery But they're the world to me
And in the darkness yeah, I'm all alone But it's the darkness gonna save my soul tonight And their society's a mystery, I said a mystery And one I'll never see
And through it all y'know the world keeps turnin' On the streets y'know the tears keep burnin' I got no place and I gotta get away
Take me, take me away I gotta get outta this place tonight Take me, take me away The sky is falling and I just can't bear the sight
I want my innocence back Can you make my soul intact tonight? Y'know they tried to take it all away They tried to hurt me and I still can feel the pain
And through it all y'know the world keeps turnin' On the streets y'know the tears keep burnin' I got no faith and I gotta get away
Take me, take me away The sky is falling and I just can't bear the sight
