In the neon jungle, where the poison rains Call the hand of justice, out come the feet of clay There growing endless signals of acute distress Tripping up on the red tape another SOS - But come the dark night Under the pale of the street light You can hang loose from the dog-fight 'Cos nobody cares- Better come the dark nights, Come the dark night Sit there wrapped in thunder, you're down and out of luck Waiting on the breadline until your bu*ton's pushed And in that house of plastic, where the soft-wares checked, Spitting total recall from each icy breath - But come the dark night Under the pale of the street light You can hang loose from the dog-fight 'Cos nobody cares- Better come the dark nights, Come the dark night Now when the night is over another day begins, You've got to shed your identity and take another skin, Then be a cold statistic down in City Hall, Just a name and number, a shadow on the wall - But come the dark night Under the pale of the street light You can hang loose from the dog-fight 'Cos nobody cares- Better come the dark nights, Come the dark night
