“Every Night”

[Vs1]
Every city
light is burning,
Casting
smoke upon the wind;
Lonely faces
slowly changing;
Putting on
their midnight skin…
Lover’s
hearts find true submission,
While the hustlers
look for prey;
In this city
of lost angels,
Just the end
of another day.
CHORUS
Every night breathes full
surrender,
Every night brings one more chance;
Every night begs a decision –
Run away or join the dance…
Every night feeds romance novels,
Every night needs one more
prayer;
Every night breathes one tomorrow –
But no one wants to leave for there.
[Vs2]
Moonlight fights against the darkness,
As it pales
from summer heat;
Nameless
wanderers find trouble,
Boiling over
these dark streets…
From the
neon signs of pleasure,
To the
church bells’ quiet sounds;
In this city's contradictions,
No real answers can be found.
CHORUS
Every night breathes full
surrender,
Every night brings onemore chance;
Every night begs a decision –
Run away or join the dance…
Every night feeds romance novels,
Every night needs one more
prayer;
Every night breathes one tomorrow –
But no one wants to leave for there.
OPTIONAL BRIDGE
There are no soft enchantments,
Every night
drops strong and hard –
Once the
twilight runs for cover,
Night
breathes down the boulevard…
[Vs3]
With each
hour pushing forward,
All the
shadows fight for air;
‘Cause the daylight
hates excuses,
From the
people stranded there…
Morning
grabs a new horizon,
Strains to
push the night away;
Strangers
turn to mist and vanish –
Just the
start of another day.
CHORUS
Every night breathes full
surrender,
Every night brings one more chance;
Every night begs a decision –
Run away or join the dance…
Every night feeds romance novels,
Every night needs one more prayer;
Every night breathes one tomorrow –
But no one wants to leave for there.
