Sonny got caught in the moonlight A wanted man with a haunted heart (I said...) Sonny found out the hard way
Playing for keeps, loser weeps He said he'd come back when the lion sleeps
Struck by lightning, the fire is dying And she called out your name Sudden thunder, the sky is crying Can't tell the tears from the rain
Sonny got caught in the moonlight Paint graffiti on the subway wall Sonny got lost in the blue night They stood like statues, legs spread wide Catch him in the crossfire and take him by surprise
Struck by lightning, the fire is dying And she called out your name Sudden thunder, the sky is crying Can't tell the tears from the rain Can't tell the tears from the rain
All my life I've been running Paint a portrait of a fool And with my heart in my hands Oh, they've come to take me down
Sonny got caught in the moonlight By the power that can turn the tide And I heard three shots around midnight Driven by the passion, running from the heat No questions asked...he's just a kid from the street
Struck by lightning, the fire is dying And she called out your name Sudden thunder, the sky is crying Can't tell the tears from the rain Can't tell the tears from the rain
