"The Night" lyrics
I got my scars on the Sunset Strip
From California girls with Loreal lips
Just another young runaway
Who had to get out of San Luis Rey
Tattooed, reckless and unemployed
Rocking with the Whiskey a Go Go boys
There's a hunger that always burns
When the sun goes down and darkness returns
The night lights up like a penny arcade
The night opens up like an Italian switchblade
The night cries out to the lost and betrayed
The night is when a deal with the devil is made
My younger brother smoked Marlboro reds
Had a run in with some DEA Feds
Back from a tour in Afghanistan
Drove to Mexico in a Chevy van
The cocaine was inside 12 holy relics
You never cross the border high on psychedelics
Nothing good happens after midnight
A 9 double m caught in the fire fight
I was kicked out of my mom's home
I was banned like mercurochrome
Neon's a poison won't let me be
I was an overdose waiting at the Sunset Marquis
Went and got a desire chip
I meet the requirements for membership
Didn't have any faith, I got a little hope
But when the suns goes down it's a slippery slope
From California girls with Loreal lips
Just another young runaway
Who had to get out of San Luis Rey
Tattooed, reckless and unemployed
Rocking with the Whiskey a Go Go boys
There's a hunger that always burns
When the sun goes down and darkness returns
The night lights up like a penny arcade
The night opens up like an Italian switchblade
The night cries out to the lost and betrayed
The night is when a deal with the devil is made
My younger brother smoked Marlboro reds
Had a run in with some DEA Feds
Back from a tour in Afghanistan
Drove to Mexico in a Chevy van
The cocaine was inside 12 holy relics
You never cross the border high on psychedelics
Nothing good happens after midnight
A 9 double m caught in the fire fight
I was kicked out of my mom's home
I was banned like mercurochrome
Neon's a poison won't let me be
I was an overdose waiting at the Sunset Marquis
Went and got a desire chip
I meet the requirements for membership
Didn't have any faith, I got a little hope
But when the suns goes down it's a slippery slope
