You get to work late and the boss man's giving you hell
 Till you're out on a midnight run
 Losing your heart to a beautiful one
 And it feels right as you lock up the house
 Turn out the lights and step out into the night

 And the world is busting at its seams
 And you're just a prisoner of your dreams
 Holding on for your life 'cause you work all day
 To blow 'em away in the night

 The rat traps filled with soul crusaders
 The circuits lined and jammed with chromed invaders
 And she's so pretty that you're lost in the stars
 As you jockey your way through the cars
 And sit at the light, as it changes to green
 With your faith in your machine off you scream into the night

 And you're in love with all the wonder it brings
 And every muscle in your body sings as the highway ignites
 You work nine to five and somehow you survive till the night
 Hell all day they're busting you up on the outside
 But tonight you're gonna break on through to the inside
 And it'll be right, it'll be right, and it'll be tonight

 And you know she will be waiting there
 And you'll find her somehow you swear
 Somewhere tonight you run sad and free
 Until all you can see is the night
