Green light turns to yellow, all the signs say wait

Despite the call for caution you're out there pushing fate

A voice inside you says a smarter man would turn and run

And you can't help but wonder if you'll live to see the sun



But the night is calling your name

Nobody's right, no one's too blame, (It's too late to run)

Just pray you don't become a victim of the game



Somewhere there's a siren, your heart is in your throat

Hard cold reassurance, blue steel in your coat

How did a boy from Kansas ever wind up on these streets

It's not what you intended, but now you're in too deep



And the night is calling your name

Nobody's right, no one's too blame, (It's too late to run)

Just pray you don't become a victim of the game



Did someone recognize you, is your cover blown

Headlights turn the corner and you're standing there alone



And the night is calling your name

Nobody's right, no one's too blame, (It's too late to run)

Just pray you don't become a victim of the game
