King Of The Night

[Verse 1]
You were like a fast car burned up in a race
And sitting on blocks in this backwater place
Rusted at memories, bitter and proud
While the race still goes on without you somehow

[Chorus]
And wasn't that moonlight and the starlight just right?
And the mercury feelin' flooding the road
With your headlights like lovers in flight
Too fast to fall, we thought you were king of the night

[Verse 2]
So empty the bottle and tell us some more
What do you care if you've heard it before?
Price of your victories cheaper 'til now
You were fearless and foolish, forgotten somehow

[Chorus]
Wasn't that moonlight and the starlight just right?
And the mercury feelin' flooding the road
With your headlights like lovers in flight
You were too fast to fall, we thought you were king of the night

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
Wasn't that moonlight and the starlight just right?
And the mercury feelin' flooding the road
With your headlights like lovers in flight
Too fast to fall, we thought you were king of the night
Wasn't that moonlight and the starlight just right?
And the mercury feelin' flooding the road
With your headlights like lovers in flight
You were too fast to fall, we thought you were king of the night
