Lady Of The Night Lyrics

Standing on the corner

Getting soaked by all the rain

The world that waits before her

Is the same old twisted game

It pushed her to her limits

And then it broke her pride

The failures and near-misses

Locked the gates to paradise

Yet another headlight

Yet another man

She's on another deadline

For a little cash in hand

She wonders how she came to

Fall as low as this

Life has turned the tables

Fed her poison from its lips

She feels so lost

Just count the cash, not the soul that she has lost

She's the lady of the night

Once there was a young girl

Who dreamt a perfect life

Is it out there somewhere?

'Cos it sure ain't here tonight

Living in the moment

There's no more "making plans"

It's ecstasy and torment

Wrapped up in a half-hour stand

She feels so lost

Just count the cash, not the soul that she has lost

All the times she's been lost

Caught up in this vicious cycle

(The soul that she has lost)

Count the cash, don't count the cost

That's the lady of the night

She's the lady of the night

(She feels so lost)

All the times she's been lost

Caught up in this vicious cycle

She's the lady of the night

And that's how she survives
