[Verse 1]
I see 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
[Pre-Chorus]
It's just the night in my veins (Oh)
Making me crawl in the dust again
It's just the night under my skin
Slipping it in
[Chorus]
He's got his hands in my hair and his lips everywhere
Oh yeah (Oh yeah)
It feels good (Feels good), it's all right
Even if it's just the night in my veins
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh
Hey, hey
Oh-oh
[Verse 2]
He's got me up against the back of a pick-up truck
Out of sight of the neon and glare
We might as well be on a beach under the moonlight
Love's language reads the same anywhere (Yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
It's just the night in my veins (Oh)
Making me crawl in the dust again
It's just the night under my skin
Slipping it in
[Chorus]
He's got his chest on my back across a new Cadillac
Oh yeah (Oh yeah)
It feels good (Feels good), it's all right
Even if it's just the night in my veins
Even if it's just the night in my veins, oh
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh
Woah-oh
Oh-oh
[Chorus]
I've got my head on the curb and I can't produce a word
Oh yeah (Oh yeah)
It feels good (Feels good), it's all right
Even if it's just the night in my veins
It feels good (Feels good), it's all right
Even if it's just the night in my veins
Even if it's just the night in my veins
[Outro]
It feels good (Feels good), it's all right
Even if it's just the night in my veins
Even if it's just the night in my veins
