Lyrics
The Nightrider
The nightrider waits in the shadows as night comes down
Waits for the bus that will take him to the edge of town
No small talk, he makes sure everything will be fine
Takes a back seat, for a ride to the end of the line
No papers, no name
He stays one step ahead of the game
The nightrider
He stares at the bright city lights as the hours go by
No more nights on the streets where the homeless lie
He remembers the day in a cell in a distant land
The guards looked away, and money changed hands
No papers, no name
He stays one step ahead of the game
The nightrider
They come from the clubs still high from the deep house beats
They laugh too loud and stumble to the empty seats
Daylight breaks on the towers where the dealers trade
The nightrider sits and smiles at the deal he's made
No papers, no name,
He stays one step ahead of the game
The nightrider
In the city he slips through the tangle of narrow streets
To a place where the luckless go and the lost souls meet
No questions asked, and nothing to explain
Till night comes down and he waits in the shadows again
No papers, no name
He stays one step ahead of the game
The nightrider
