On Through The Night lyrics

Well, in the middle of the night and the early morning light
You can hear them a million miles away
They'll be bangin' on their drums bangin' on your door
Waving their flags telling you to score

Watch out for the rock brigade (rock brigade)
Oh no, it's the rock brigade (rock brigade)
Look out for the rock brigade
Leading you away, away

So when they hit your town you'd better get down

Hello America, hello America
Hello America, hello America

Well I'm takin' me a trip I'm going down to California
Yeah, I'm gonna try Hollywood and San Pedro Bay
I'll tell ya what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna give my love to you
I'm gonna take you where the lights are bright
I'm gonna give you my love tonight

Hello America, hello America
Hello America, hello America

You're always pretending to be
Someone who prefers to be free
You think you can fool me with your lyin' eyes
But what is this game that you play
When all that your trying to say
Is that your lonely, in need of a friend

Oh yeah sorrow woman, I just can't seem to get to you
Oh yeah sorrow woman, if only you could see you as I do

And can't you see that it's true
There's someone as lonely as you

Who's the one to knock me over
Who's the one to take me by surprise
Who's the one who's out to get me
Who will share my fantasy tonight

It could be you, it could be me
It could be anyone
It could be you, it could be me
It could be you, it could be anyone

Do you really know the story
Have you really come to see the band
Can you reach out for the glory

Midnight, bright light, shining from the sky
Circulating round the earth, trying to catch your eye
Lowdown, showdown, trying to break away
Stay on course, feel the force, careful what you say

Ooh yeah, ooh yeah can't you feel that it's real
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah set your sights on the satellite

Me and you, rendezvous, we've got to take the chance

On the first day of the first month in some distant year
The whole sky froze golden
Some said it was the aftermath of the radium bomb
While others told of a final retribution
A terrible revenge of the gods

But we understood the grand finale
Fulfillment of a prophecy told many years before
So all that was left was...

All the women were captured and chained

Well I've been lying awake all night just thinking of you
But a bottle of whiskey lies heavy obstructing my view
I've got a bottle of pills to give me my thrills
And I know that I'm leading a life that kills

Wasted - I've wasted my time
Wasted - I'm shooting a line
Wasted - I'm stuck in a hole
Wasted - I'm losing control

And I've been meaning to call, I've been wanting to phone

Well, we were gettin' ready just the other night
When a knock on the dressing room door
Gave way to a leather jacket little girl
Who we'd never ever seen before
In her red satin dress and her high heeled shoes
She took us all by surprise
And when she asked us what we wanted to do
Well, she said it with her eyes
Just getcha rocks off

When we finally took the stage there she was

Now in your big flash motor and your wild reputation
You're ready to hit the streets
Winking at the boys, yeah heading for the noise
Got the world at your feet
If leaving me for dead with a pistol at my head
Is your idea of how I'd feel
Well let me tell you honey 'fore you spend all of your money
I got my hands firmly on the wheel, yeah

When the night time unfolds and the memories that you hold
Bring a light to your eyes though you know it's disguise
When the night turns to day you
turn around and say
Magic mirror please tell is this heaven or hell?
Answer to the master

Can you look to the sky? Can you live through your lie?
Of the thoughts you can't trace which time can't erase

And with this message that I bring to you
A beacon of light to see you through
For the time is on our side
And a holy man does say to me
To always to be blind and never to see
It's not the way he planned it, oh no

The time has come to gather up your thoughts
For you have said your piece
The lords of light will change this land
From famine into feast
