Lyrics

Now you’re runnin’ with the right crowd
Well you better watch the friends you’re choosin’
Girl you’re a walkin’ winner now
You better keep your eye on who’s doin’ the losin’
All the faces staring down your throat
All the eyes, darlin’, that are never closed
In your sadness, girl, maybe there’s somethin’ that you ought to know
Night fire, the night fire is out in the dark burnin’
Night fire, the night fire is down in the street yearning

You’re runnin’ with the right crowd
Money and the wine are flowin’
You found your place with the right crowd
But you forgot about that storm, that storm that’s blowin’
(Dance on) Let the music play, (Dance on) let the night roll to day
(Dance on) Don’t listen to what they say
Just keep movin’ to the beat, to the beat, to the big beat
Night fire, the night fire is out in the dark burnin’
Night fire, the night fire is down in the street yearning

Will they punch your ticket as you grow old
Do you really get used to bein’ bought and sold
Does that brand new dress keep out the cold
Do your brand new friends help you to keep
Your pretty eyes from seein’ what they shouldn’t see
The sound of breaking glass and runnin’ feet
The sound of breaking glass and runnin’ feet
Won’t you tell me baby I got to know
Won’t you tell me baby I got to know
Won’t you tell me baby I got to know
Won’t you tell me baby I got to know
Won’t you tell me baby I got to know

Night fire, the night fire is out in the dark burnin’
Night fire, the night fire is down in the street yearning
Night fire, the night fire is out in the dark burnin’
Night fire, the night fire is down in the street yearning
Ooh ooh oh oh…
