When the day is over 

And the work is done 

Well it's a different story 

As the darkness comes around 

I tried to let you know 

You're going the wrong way 


And the streets you thought 

Would all be paved with gold 

But when the wind cuts through 

You'd even try to sell your soul 

Everywhere you go 

It's the long way 


Now you're no longer 

Just the boy next door 

When they were falling in love 

With that clean cut smile 

Change of style 

Just for a little while 


(chorus) 

Whatcha doing, hey whatcha doing 

Walking through danger 

Can't see the wrong or the right 

Whatcha doing, tell me whatcha doing 

Can't be a stranger 

Must be a trick of the night 


Well its a laugh a minute 

And you can't decide 

Between the burning question 

And the fortune in his eyes 

You never let it show 

Or take it the wrong way 


Sometimes you wonder 

What you came here for 

Oh, they could tear you apart 

With those bare faced lies 

Can't disguise 

All the hurt you're feeling inside 


(chorus x 2) 


Of the night, of the night 

Must be a trick of the night 


When the day is over 

And the work is done 

Well it's a different story 

As the darkness comes around 


And the streets you thought 

Would all be paved with gold 

But when the wind cuts through 

You'd even try to sell your soul 


(ad lib)
