           Dm    Em
We’re on a night run
Am                       Dm
Boy you better hold your tongue
Em               Am
Talking like you coming from kingdom come
Dm         Em
Rhythm and reeling
    Am
the feeling I’m riding
    Dm           Em     Am
the sound to the ceiling
Dm           Em
Never got no money
        Am
but I’m running from the gun
            Dm
my engines flooded
      Em
cold blooded no money
 Am
drunk on something uh
Dm          Em
Killing the moonlight
      Am
with daylight
       Dm    Em
Got my X-ray eyes
        Am
and I’m feeling so fine

Chorus:
Dm
Night Running all night running
Am
Star studded not far from it
Dm
We’re running all night running
Am
Cold blooded all night running
Dm
Night running all night running
Am
Star studded not far from it
Dm
Night running all night running
Am
Cold blooded we’re all night running

We're on the nightshade
Tell me what we're hiding from
Like someone could steal it
Are we waiting for some kind of feeling
Or saving it up for the morning?
Undercover
The cloak and dagger
Is there a creature in the attic?
Are we for real, yeah?
Or just pretending?
Will it burn out by the morning?

Chorus

We're on a night run
No telling who we're running from
In a world of secrets and demons
and people hiding from the sun
Sending my message to everyone losing control
Better not stop 'til I get home
Sentimental flowers don't grow
Got to live through tidal waves
And parishes and biblical floods
I got the gris-gris love
And the streets in my blood
I'm on the final run
Falling in and out of love, oh


Chorus
