She's a perked up and nobody see
With a story told to man it seems
Like a refugee in the dead of night
Shines the light to make her whole
She's a one way ride anywhere she goes
On a greyhound bus she's the desert floor
With a runaway dream to hard to hide
I never ask the reasons why

She is the night
She is the night
She's got an animal behind that sway
When you turn out the light
She's a runaway
She is the night

She's the static on the radio
She a one day here and the next she's gone
She's the stuck between the Jack and king
With full hand up her sleeve

She is the night
She is the night
She's got an animal behind that sway
When you turn out the light
She's a runaway
Ooh

She is a long lost friend
She touches you
She gives and disappears again
(She's a runaway)
She is a lovers rage
And I know she only passes by
But I'm standing by

She is the night
She is the night
She's got an animal behind that sway
When you turn out the light
She's a runaway
She is the night
She's a runaway
