I saw him standing silhouetted in the lamplight
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

It's just the night in my veins
makin' me crawl in the dust again
it's just the night, under my skin
slippin' it in

He's got his hands in my hair and his lips everywhere
oh yeah
feels good, it's alright
even if it's just the night in my veins

He's got me up against the back of a pickup truck
out of sight of the neon glare
we might as well be on a beach under the moonlight
love's language reads the same, anywhere

It's just the night in my veins
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

I 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
