Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I see you standin', silhouetted in the lamp light
I cross the street, and I quicken my pace
He cups his hands, and he lights a cigarette
I find myself in the bones of his face
[Verse 2]
It's just the night in my veins
Oh, makin' me crawl in the dust again
It's just the night under my skin
Slippin' it in
But he's got his hands in my hair and his lips everywhere
Oh, yeah, it feels good, it's alright
Even if it's just the night in my veins
[Verse 3]
Hey, hey
He's got me up against the back of a pickup truck
Out of the sight of the neon glare
We might as well be on a beach under the moonlight
Love's language reads the same anywhere
Yeah
[Verse 4]
It's just the night in my veins
Oh, makin' me crawl in the dust again
It's just the night under my skin
Slippin' it in
He's got his chest on my back, across a new Cadillac
Oh, yeah, it feels good, it's alright
Even if it's just the night in my veins
Even if it's just the night in my veins
Oh
[Verse 5]
I've got my head on the curb and I can't produce a word
Oh, yeah, it feels good, it's alright
Even if it's just the night in my veins
It feels good, it's alright
Even if it's just the night in my veins
Even if it's just the night in my veins
It feels good, it's alright
Even if it's just the night in my veins
Even if it's just the night in my veins
