Out of the Night Lyrics

The smoke, it hung

Over the crowd

Over us all

Like a mushroom cloud

The girl on my left

I caught her eye

She took a deep breath

I started to sigh

The band, it played

Its songs so loud

You could feel the noise

Like a studded shroud

I wish I was home

Or in mid-flight

Heading one way or the other

Out of the night

My wounds need salt

So it's salt that I weep

And where once they did heal

Now they're mine to keep

The girl on my left

She started to leave

She moved like a lynx

With her back to the breeze

Now there is but one body

Now just one soul

The crowd, it is gone

For the crowd is now whole

I wish I was home

Or in mid-flight

Heading one way or the other

Out of the night

How it all started

I do not know

One word out of place

Is a seed that will grow

The girl on my left

Turned again at the door

Her smile half-true

Her feet so unsure

And so the dance goes on

An eternal waltz

A rose in our teeth

A beat in our pulse

But I wish I was home

Or in mid-flight

Heading one way or the other

Out of this night
