In the lonely hours of MIDNIGHT When New York city's lying wide awake Under the glow of street light I feel the rumble of the concrete mix On my head, lookout down Ride through the Harlem to the interstate And my soul reunite In the lonely hours of MIDNIGHT
Two lovers falling in each other's arms Stumbling now on the high line Upon the bridge there's a broken heart Screaming to his valentine Two sunken eyes at the corner shop Tryina get a lucky for a dime The needle drops and the line it turns And then it burns one right
In the lonely hours of MIDNIGHT When New York city's lying wide awake Under the glow of street light I feel the rumble of the concrete mix On my head, lookout down Ride through the Harlem to the interstate And my soul reunite In the lonely hours of MIDNIGHT
Calling out for something Calling out for something true
In the lonely hours of MIDNIGHT When New York city's lying wide awake Under the glow of street light I feel the rumble of the concrete mix
In the lonely hours of MIDNIGHT When New York city's lying wide awake Under the glow of street light I feel the rumble of the concrete mix On my head, lookout down Ride through the Harlem to the interstate And my soul reunite In the lonely hours of MIDNIGHT In the lonely hours of MIDNIGHT In the lonely hours of MIDNIGHT
